It’s all in the delivery
April 6, 2008Not sure if this is a worrying sign, or the comedy factor merited me remembering it, but had to mention a world record that was broken last month by an Indian chap called Radhakant Bajpai.
Through unwavering dedicated, Radhakant has managed to grow the world’s longest ear hair. His 25cm tuffs beat the previous record holder by over 10cm, and according to a slightly disillusioned Radhakant, should receive government appreciation.
The BBC covered the news briefly, but I found an even better piece with interviews and also details of another Indian guy who is looking to set a record for cutting the most hair with his teeth. This is some of the most comical reporting I have seen in ages and the deadpan tone of the correspondent is hilarious.
Hilarious. Not sure I would like this guy as my grocer
This article bodes the question, are world records of any use to society or just the indulgence of weird extroverts?
The dude looks cool! I really hope that he does not stop now, he could set a record that will last forever. This is a fantastic achievement so far, it just shows what is possible if you put your mind to it!
