Hans Nilson Langseth (July 14, 1846 – November 10, 1927) was a Norwegian-American who held the record for the world's longest beard.
Langseth was born in Eidsvoll in 1846 and immigrated to the United States in 1867. He married Anna Berntsen in 1870 and worked as a farmer in Elkton Township, Clay County, Minnesota.
At age 19, he began growing a beard as part of a contest, and it is unclear if he won the contest.
In his later life, he traveled around the United States as part of a freak show showing off his beard.
Langseth died aged 81 in Wyndmere, North Dakota, and is buried in Elk Creek Church Cemetery in Kensett, Iowa.
When he died, his beard measured 17.5 ft.
It was donated to the Department of Anthropology at the Smithsonian Institution in 1967.

A daring adventurer named Lars comes to Earth from Mars to investigate an H-bomb detonation.
His peace-keeping mission takes an unexpected turn when he is "discovered" by a TV producer.
When he isn't filming on the set of his 'Lars of Mars' TV series, Lars battled the forces of evil on Earth, using his "super-intelligence, and advanced scientific, crime-fighting gadgets."
Which included a multi-function ray-gun, rocket motor pack, and telescopic viewer goggles. Lars also possessed telepathic abilities that allowed him to instantly understand any language.
Lar's penthouse suite was equipped with a communication center that he used to contact his home planet. He was ordered not to return to Mars "until all evil is banished from Earth!"
With only two published issues, I doubt that Lars was able to complete the mission.
