 , I've been listening to podcasts of NPRs, "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me", a hilarious recap of the previous week's news events. Oh, the things you learn!

Man seeks record for arm hair length

JACKSON, Wis. - Jon Sanford takes good care of his hair, washing it regularly and conditioning it occasionally. Now he might break a record for that hair — on his arms.
One particularly long strand measured 4.1 inches. If the measurement is ruled official by Guinness World Records, Sanford will have topped the previous record of 3.96 inches.
"It's my mutant hair," said Sanford, 37.
Sanford is from Jackson, a town about 30 miles northwest of Milwaukee. He downloaded the necessary forms from Guinness, faxed them back and received further directions.
"I need two witnesses whom I do not know and they have to be respected in the community," he said of the instructions.

Think any respected members of the community know this guy very well?
