When I read
that headline my inquisitive mind quickly wondered, "Who the fuck are the two hairier men?" So I kept on reading.
The third hairiest man in the world is recovering from surgery to unblock his ears.
Yu Zhenhuan, 26, from China, suffers from atavism and was born with thick hair covering 96% of his body.
The first two sentences explained a lot but not my first and most burning question. The next two sentences were even less helpful.
He feared his career as a rock star was over after losing a third of his hearing, reports the Daily Mirror.
But, after doctors in Shanghai removed hair from his external auditory canals, he said: "It's no big deal. I can handle it."
All that did was left me questioning whether his rock star status came about because of his music or his freak appearance.
Yu was named hairiest man in the Guinness Book of Records in 2002.
But last year Mexican acrobats Larry and Danny Gomez were recognised as hairier. The twins, 19, have 98 per cent covering.
Finally, the answer to my question. Satisfied, I then thought, well if the twins have two percent more body hair and their ears aren't clogged with hair, then there has to be some other orifice that's blocked right?
