    Lol. This is kinda old. I've known about them for years. Pretty neat though. I think one of them got a tattoo .


    They also let company do tests on them. To help find a cure to baldness.

    I've seen this before, there's actually a CSI episode about it that's pretty cool.

    I have no doubt people like this are how the werewolf myth was started.

    Hypertrichosis, congenital generalized Hypertrichosis or werewolf syndrome is a medical term referring to a condition of excessive body hair. Werewolf syndrome comes from the characteristics of a mythological werewolf of which the person is completely covered in hair or fur. It can be generalized, symmetrically affecting most of the torso and limbs, or localized, affecting an area of skin. The hair does not usually cover the eye area, hands or the feet.It may be mild or severe. In most cases, the term is used to refer to an above-average amount of normal body hair that is unwanted and is an aspect of human variability.
