spk_0 Welcome to Basic Physics 101.
spk_0 This is our first episode.
spk_0 Today we will be talking about hair.
spk_0 Hi, I'm Jonah and I'm an expert in Basic Physics 101.
spk_0 Hi, I'm Gabrielle and I know nothing about Basic Physics 101.
spk_0 Our first fact comes all the way from China, where the longest documented hair in the world belongs to Hisa Chiaping,
spk_0 measuring in 18 feet and 5.54 inches.
spk_0 Last measured in 2004, she's been growing her hair since 1973.
spk_0 The longest beard in the world belongs to Hans Nielsen Lane South.
spk_0 People would call him the King of Whiskers.
spk_0 He's from Norway.
spk_0 He died in 1927.
spk_0 Ken said Iowa.
spk_0 His beard was measured when he died at his burial.
spk_0 Well now have a special interview from Arno, who will be talking about his hair.
spk_0 No, what have your experiences with your hair been?
spk_0 Well, my hair when I was born, I was bald.
spk_0 I'm pretty sure everyone's always been bald when they were born, except
spk_0 I did my hair grew and I grew it out so it got long.
spk_0 But then I'd always cut it short.
spk_0 But then like recently, I haven't been cutting me short.
spk_0 But then really recently, I cut it shortish and now it's longish.
spk_0 Because it grew out a little bit.
spk_0 Very nice, very nice.
spk_0 Thank you so much for sharing Arno.
spk_0 We now have another special guest, Annabel.
spk_0 Annabel, how have your experiences with your hair been?
spk_0 My hair is curly, it's brown.
spk_0 Usually when it's curly, it's not straight.
spk_0 Right, but yeah.
spk_0 That's all we've got this time.
spk_0 Thanks for joining us on Basic Physics 101.
spk_0 I'm Jelena.
spk_0 And I'm Gabrielle and we'll see you next time.
