52-a summer teacher from India grew a long beard 2,13 m – and he wants to, to be entered in the Guinness Book of Records. The last time Ramavatar Das trimmed his beard in 1974 year. The facial hair of a 52-year-old teacher is of extraordinary length 2 meters and 13 centimeters. The man wants to enter the Guinness Book of Records as the holder of the longest beard in the world. – I'm growing a beard, since i finished 17 Years. I never wanted to cut my hair. Today my beard has 2 metry i 13 centimeters. Wants, to put it in the Guinness Book of Records – says Ramavatar Das. In his hometown of Chandel in northern India, Das is a local star. Curious neighbors often measure his beard, which – fully developed – drags on the floor. But the prospect of breaking the record is fleeting. In November 2008 the year turned out, that the Punjab native Swaran Singh has a beard length 2 m i 36 cm. Das believes, however, that with the annual rate of growth of his beard, amounting to 14 centimeters, he will eventually deprive Singh of the crown. However, none of the men will break the all-time record. It belongs to Hans Langseth from Norway, whose beard she measured 5,3 metra, when he was dying in 1927 year. Compared to him, Das looks like a teenager with his first stubble.
