Headline: Hairculese: The Man Who Pulls Supercars With His Hair

Caption: **MUST MENTION: The new book: Ripley’s Believe It or Not! A Century of Strange!** A man has shown off his ability to tow cars - using his HAIR. Veteran strongman, Chris "Hairculese" Rider of Thomasville, Pennsylvania, has a vast repertoire of stunts that display his great strength. Among them is the ability to pull something as heavy as a car with his hair. Here he is seen dragging a £245,000 lime green Lamborghini Huracan. To pull off this amazing stunt, Hairculese separates his long locks into two braids and then weaves those below his chin and around a tow cable that’s attached to the car. From the top of his head to the ends of his hair, Hairculese’s mane is 42 inches long. He faces down the car, then walks backward, pulling the cable taught and hauling the vehicle—sometimes up to 0.25 miles! Chris - featured in the book Ripley’s Believe It or Not! A Century of Strange! - is able to perform other strongman feats like bending steel bars, ripping phone books in half, and folding coins with his bare hands.
