Ever heard of “loss of life by beard”? It occurred to Hans Steininger, a Sixteenth-century Austrian mayor well-known for having an extended beard. His beard was so lengthy, in actual fact, that it might be stretched out to just about 5 ft, and he sometimes stored it rolled up in a leather-based pouch. (RIP Hans, however you had been a bizarre dude.) On September 28, 1567, a giant fireplace broke out in his city. Within the panic, Steininger forgot to safe his beard in his little leather-based pouch, and whereas operating round making an attempt to assist the state of affairs, he tripped over his beard, fell down a flight of stairs, broke his neck, and died. (That is not Steininger under; it is an early Nineteenth-century man named Zach T. Wilcox who as soon as held the report for the world’s longest beard, however Steininger’s beard in all probability seemed like this one.)
