An Indian grocer has made it into the record books - for having the longest ear hair in the world.
Radhakant Bajpai, 50, has tufts of hair sprouting to an incredible 5.2in at their longest point, reports The Sun.
The astonishing length was confirmed for the Guinness Book of Records by medical examiner Dr R P Gupta.
Together, Bajpai's ear tufts measure almost 9.8in - long enough for two small ponytails.
He uses a special shampoo and has stopped wearing rings and necklaces so he does not damage his luxuriant whiskers.
Mr Bajpai, of Naya Ganj in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, said he wished people would take it all more seriously.
"Making it to Guinness World Records is indeed a special occasion for me and my family. God has been very kind to me," he said.
