N.Y. Man in Record Book for Eyebrow Hair
1 hour, 27 minutes ago
SARANAC, N.Y. - A 43-year-old North Country man has made the Guinness Book of World Records in a new entry for the longest eyebrow hair.
Frank Ames of Saranac in Clinton County measured in at 3.078 inches, or about 7.8 centimeters.
"I don't know why it grows like that; it just always has," Ames told the Press-Republican of Plattsburgh.
Ames's journey toward notoriety began almost two years ago when a co-worker at Bombardier Corp. noticed the bushy brow and suggested he try for a record. Ames then decided to go for it, but discovered that no such category existed. So, he made a phone call to Guinness and was sent a bunch of forms to fill out and rules for officially getting recognized.
Ken Joy, a machinist and measuring expert at Bombardier, measured the hair in February 2004 with Plattsburgh Mayor Daniel Stewart and the city's entire Common Council standing by as witnesses.
Now, Ames is on page 24 of the 2006 edition, 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."

EWWWWWWW!!!
I'd ask for a photo if I weren't afraid you'd post it...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa....TOO LATE!!
Please, Guiness, DO NOT start a category for longest nose hair.
The article grabbed me because two days ago my wife plucked a hair from my eyebrow that was well over an inch long.
Thufir Hawat was deeply saddened.
If this guy has a 3" eyebrow at age 43 I can only imagine how long they will be when he is 73.
True story: I knew my eyebrows were due for a trim when the wind kept blowing them into my eyes when I rode my motorcycle.
Wonder how this guy gets by (or if he merely owns a motorcycle shirt).
Ewwwwwwwwww!
LOL
Oy Vey.
Wifey cuts my hair, and always wraps up the procedure with trimming those little strays...and I always give her the same warning:
"Don't Gephardt me, dear!"
Everybody knows that ear hair is the true mark of accomplishment.
Isn't it a sin that eyebrows, noses and ears continue to grow... and everything of importance .... shrinks...
Just Damn....
