Far out. This article makes my heart sink. I could have been in the Guinness Book of Records... This is a true story... I was once squashed in the back of my mates little car with some friends, and the close proximity meant a friend of mine noticed an extremely long hair on my leg that i hadn't noticed. It was at least 5 inches long!!

my friends teased me and said i had a 'superhair'. not long after that another friend who was told immediately yanked it out!

there goes my world record!

This sounds like a world record that could've been broken a long time ago if people actually gave a damn.
