Eyebrow record holder wins by a long hair

SARANAC, New York (AP) -- A bushy brow landed Frank Ames in the Guinness Book of World Records, but not before a new entry was created for him.

The 43-year-old upstate New York man now holds the world record for having the longest eyebrow hair, measured just over 3 inches.

"I don't know why it grows like that; it just always has," Ames told the Press-Republican of Plattsburgh.

Ames' journey toward fame began almost two years ago when a co-worker at Bombardier Corp. noticed the lengthy brow and suggested Ames try for a record.

When Ames decided to go for it, he discovered that no such category existed. So, he called Guinness and got the rules for official recognition.

Ken Joy, a machinist at Bombardier, measured the hair in February 2004 with Plattsburgh Mayor Daniel Stewart and other city officials standing by as witnesses.

Ames' record appears in the 2006 edition of the record book, in the "Body Parts" section.

"It's crazy how much people want to know about this," Ames said Tuesday. "I've been on radio shows all day. I could build children's hospitals all across the world, and this is what I would still be known for."

I want pics!

oh there they are ... right on that site you linked to (ooops)

I will only say 3 inches is not a world record

I've just emailed my cousin to find out whether she has any scanned pics of me as a child - I was the original Unibrow Girl!

Okay why did I just read this as:

I believe I was under extreme stress and inebriated at that moment.

Actually, as I remember, you were in a good mood and quite sober. In fact, I had said I'd get you drunk and smooch you, and you said I wouldn't have to.

Funny how we remember things, innit? Ya dick
