The world's longest documented hair belongs to Xie Qiuping (China) at 5.627 m (18 ft 5.54 in) when measured on May 8, 2004. She has been growing her hair since 1973 from the age of 13.


That is really long hair, if i tried to grow it that long I would get frustrated and cut it off. That is a very long time to grow hair. what a great Guinness world record!

The tallest man in medical history for whom there is irrefutable evidence is Robert Pershing Wadlow. He was born at Alton, Illinois, USA, on February 22, 1918, and when he was last measured on June 27, 1940, was found to be 2.72 m (8 ft 11.1 in) tall.

Wow that is really tall!! i cant believe its possible for someone to grow that much. it must have been hard getting around, barely fitting in houses.

The Most Expensive Guitar


A Fender Stratocaster guitar signed by a host of music legends fetched US$2.7 million (then £1.57 million) at a charity auction for Reach Out To Asia at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Doha, Qatar, on November 17, 2005. Stars who signed the guitar included Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page and Brian May (all UK). The Reach Out To Asia campaign seeks to support worthy causes around the world, with particular emphasis on the Asian continent.


Wow i would never pay that much for a guitar, even though its really nice. that's like more than a car, that person must have really wanted it!

Wow i wonder how many people it took to make it?, and how many people it took to eat it?! I wonder how they cut it up?
Its cool to think that people can create sandwiches that weigh that much. Its amazing.
