Long LONG things
The Longest Album Title: Fiona Apple
The album title contains 90 words and here it is:
When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right.
The Longest Beard: Hans Langseth of Norway
When he died in 1927, the beard was measured at 17 1/2 feet. Hans Langseth's beard can now be seen at the Smithsonian Institution. (EW)
The Longest Beard for a FEMALE?: Vivian Wheeler of Illinois
With the longest hair in her beard measuring 11 inches - 27.9 cm., she is blessed with having the longest beard for a female. Her father insisted she start shaving at the age of 7.
The Longest Curtain Call: Placido Domingo
Just imagine, 101 curtain calls, 80 minutes of solid clapping and one encore after another! That is exactly what the world famous tenor got after his performance as the Moor of Venice in Othello on July 30th 1991 at Vienna, making it the longest applause ever recorded!
The Longest Boxing Match: Andy Bowen & Jack Burke to fight in New Orleans.
The date: April 6 1893.
The time: 9:00 PM.
The rules: Fight to the finish.
The prize: $2,500.00 USD.
The result: After 7 hours and 19 minutes spanning 110 round the boxers are to pooped to punch and the match is declared 'no contest' which was later changed to a draw.
The Longest Ear Hair: Radhakant Bajpai of India
This is one record we would never want to break and gladly leave it to this guy. One of Radhakant Bajpai's hair measures an amazing 13.2 cm. or 5.19 inches.
The Longest Crab: The Giant Japanese Spider Crab
If you are like us and enjoy nothing more than a good crab for dinner then this record is for you.
The world's longest crab, is a member of the snow crab group. The body of the giant Japanese spider crab reaches 15 inches in length and the leg span, a tasty 12 feet, providing about 50 pounds of dining pleasure. Hungry? Eager to go catch one? First you'll need a ticket to Japan as they are found off the Pacific coast of Japan and second, you'll need to be able to dive down to 150 -1000 feet to find them. Bon appétit.
I wanted to upload a TON more pictures, but for some reason Blogger was mad at me today. So take a look at the website here. (and check out the long LONG website name)

Now I know what Bobby would look like with a beard and an oily ponytail.
OH. MY. GOD. I have to tell you, for a minute I thought the beard WAS the ponytail. Thank you for making my day.
