Long nose: the reason for the complexes or the occasion for pride?
All of us from early childhood are familiar with such heroes as Pinocchio and Pinocchio. Their most prominent and recognizable attributes were a long nose. And whether there will be people in real life, the sizes of a nose which envy even these fairy-tale characters? Surprisingly, there are such unique people.
It was thanks to the length of his nose that a certain Gustav von Albach, a nobleman who lived in Bremen back in the 18th century, became famous. By the way, about his unusual appearance he did not complex at all, but, on the contrary, was content with his opportunity to serve as an object of universal attention. He even liked to amuse and entertain the people, especially children. Often he was invited to all sorts of masquerades, where Gustov could freely come without a mask.
The long nose became a distinctive feature of another "lucky". Extremely nosed cirque Thomas Wedders lived in England in the XVIII century and even earned his living due to his unique features.
To date, the nomination "the longest nose in the world" belongs to Turk Mehmet Oziurek. According to the data presented in the Guinness Book of Records, the length of his nose is 8.8 cm. However, experts believe that this record will soon be beaten ... by Mehmet himself, because his nose grows further!
But it is possible that in the near future Mehmet will have to say goodbye to his title. Swedish journalists found another Turk, who supposedly has the longest nose in the world, reaching as much as 14 cm. There is even a video recording of this fact, but officially it is still not proven.
However, the reverse side of this dubious glory is rather bitter. Doctors put too nosy people a diagnosis of "rhinoplasty." This chronic disease is associated with excessive overgrowth of the skin of the nose and occurs mainly in middle-aged and older men. Facial deformity is not the most terrible manifestation of this disease, it is also associated with the clogging of the sebaceous glands and the appearance of hummocky growths. The fight against rhinophysis is carried out only surgically.
If you draw parallels with the animal world, then the longest nose, of course, went to the handsome elephant. Its magnitude reaches 1.5 -2 m. The elephant trunk is a long process, formed by the fusion of the upper lip with the nose. The finger-shaped outgrowth, located on the tip of the trunk, allows the elephant to grab food and various objects. The nose of this amazing animal is a place of concentration of more than 40 thousand muscles and muscles, due to what it is characterized by great strength and mobility. It is said that with the help of the nose an elephant is able to lift from the floor even a small pin. Whether this really is, one can only guess.
As you have been able to see, in our world there are many people with unique characteristics. And for many of them, a long nose is not at all an occasion for experience. After all, as you know, if you can not change the situation, you just need to change your attitude towards it. These people were able to turn their outstanding features into an object of universal attention and admiration.
