Hair raising record

Apr 22nd, 2009 | By | Category: Dilan, Features

The Guinness book of records is known for its outrageous entries with everything from the most piercings on a face to the longest kiss. And now the longest ear hair in the world has also got a piece of the pie.

Radhakant Baijpai from India has his incredible ear follicles to thank for breaking the record which was last set by someone in 2003.

The 58 year old grocer sprouts an amazing 25cm, in length from his ears, and still growing. Having suffered taunts for years he now regards his furry ears as a symbol of luck and prosperity: “Before people would tease me, not maliciously, but still would ask me why my I never cut my ear hair. Now I tell people with pride about the good fortune that my hair has brought me.”

I went out onto to the streets of Angel, Islington to see what lengths the people of London are prepared to go to in order to get into the infamous book.

What would you do to get in the Guinness book of records?
