NRN, sorry about your sinus infection...
...but it inspired me to research "the longest nose in the world" and my conclusion is that as of Oct. '05 it is Mehmet Ozyurek. I took the liberty of also posting this in "the longest" thread:
Who has the longest nose in the world?
At the annual longest nose competition in Turkey things are not done in a normal fashion. Noses are measured in anchovy bones, but we do not know how many anchovy bones make up 8.8 cm. or 3 1/2 inches.
Mehmet Ozyurek of Turkey nosed out the competition with his 3 1/2 snout to be the proud owner of the world's longest nose.
Update: On October 13 2005 Mehmet Ozyurek has been confirmed as having the world's longest nose.
Congratulations on the winning snout.
