Do you have a big nose? If your nose measures at least 60 mm (about 2.3 inches) long or 40 mm (about 1 1/2 inches) wide you are eligible to join The Big Nose Club. The club was started in 1961 in Langenbruck,Germany by a group of hops growers and the town minister making fun of each others noses at the local pub. The group has grown from 40 members to 330 registered members. The Big Nose World Championship takes place every five years and uses a modern nose gauge to measure the noses. The contestants are allowed to frown or make faces to enhance the size but no illegal substances are permitted. If you are interested in competing the current female champion's nose is over 4 inches while her male counterpart's nose measured nearly 5 inches.
