From The PT Leader:

PT man’s eyebrow is world-record length 

At first, Leonard Traenkenschuh thought seeking a world record for having the longest strand of eyebrow hair was a “hair”-brained idea.

But the more he thought about it, the more the notion grew on him.

So, last week, the Port Townsend man completed the documentation necessary to meet the Guinness World Records criteria for longest individual strand of eyebrow hair.

The current world record is just a follicle more than 3 inches.

Leonard has two – count ’em, two – hairs past that length. His longest strand is 3½ inches.

“I didn’t set out to grow a hair to set a record,” says the man who has lived in Port Townsend since 1980 and works at the hospital transcribing medical records. “This just happened.”

Leonard, 56, has never been a particularly hairy person. He does not have a beard and does not have thick sideburns or a mustache. “I just have fertile brows,” he says.
