A 43-year-old man is in the 2006 Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest eyebrow hair. Frank Ames' super strand on his left eyebrow measured a whopping 3.078 inches or 7.81 centimeters, the Plattsburgh, N.Y. Press Republican reports.
Ames said a co-worker suggested to him a couple of years ago that he check to see if his naturally bushy brow was some kind of record. Plattsburgh's mayor and the entire City Council witnessed the official measuring and Ames submitted his entry to Guinness. Ames' daughter recently found a copy of the 2006 record book and on page 24 in the body parts section was her dad.
Unfortunately, the mega-folicle hair has disappeared -- probably from getting caught in Ames' motorcycle helmet, he noted -- but it's only a matter of time before another grows back. Then, Ames said, he'll probably try to break his own record.
