You know how on some men, one out of every hundred eyebrow hairs will grow to, like, quadruple the length of its fellows? Does anyone know why that is?

I don't have an answer, but I can commiserate.

If you were a yak or some other ruminant prized for its fibre, I would tell you that it is the difference between guard hairs (that keep out the elements) and down (which keeps the heat in).

Um.

I am guessing that you are not a yak. Or similar.

You might consider utilizing such hairs to strain out plankton?

I had one of those for a few months a while ago. I finally got around to tweezing it out at one point, and it was painful, and the root-bulb-thing at its end was big. I also have one on the back of my left hand. It grows out thick, past the other wispier hairs. Every couple of months, I get a grip on it with my teeth and yank it. (This last sentence has good out-of-context potential.)

That concludes this edition of Eastern European Hair Adventures!

But I dunno the answer, bro.
