Once upon a time, this question would have been purely academic

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?

Trust me, you *really* don't want to know.

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.
