Just kidding folks, meet .........

Not afraid of fire
China's hairiest man, Yu Zhenhuan, poses on a track in Beijing in his bid to run in next year's Olympic torch relay, state media said this week.

I didn't think of that. LOL Maybe they will have to hose him down brfore
the race starts. :p

I seem to recall there is a medical condition/term for what this guy has..... I am glad I have been able to keep my hair growth under control......




I didn't read this article.......so don't yell at me....

the condition (http://www.google.com/search?q=hypertrichosis&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7)

Hose him down with some flame retardant and he'll be fine!

(Not very aerodynamic, though)

Oh that is just so cool!!! :D (seriously. I'm not a fan of how... naked most humans are. I just think it's weird.)

I know someone who was about that hairy on his hands.

We (?) are making fun of a medical condition, I do believe. Correct me if I'm wrong. Although I find this picture rather odd and entertaining, our amusement is at the expense of some else. Granted he posed for this photo. I am not so concerned about this guy, but there are other folks living with this disease.

I am just trying to bring a little less humorous tilt to this post. I am not offened, but just aware that it might be making fun of an illness.

Am I being a wet blanket? Maybe I need to lighten up?

Geeze, lighten up SAS. I am aware of the disease that you mentioned
but don't think this guy has it. People who do have the syndrome have
every inch of skin covered in hair. This guy is just very hairy.


EDITED: It seems the guy is a Rock Star in China & very well known there.
he does have the medical condition mentioned & has had a lot of hair
removed for health reasons. Just google the guys name,Yu Zhenhuan.

Ok, I just give in on this one. I guess I don't see the humor in it. Maybe I need a new lease on life. I don't care about this guy, as I mentioned in an earlier post, but there have been programs on TV about this disease and how they folks who have it, are made fun of......

Anywho. Onward. I am glad I don't have it!

:)

I bet he goes thru a lot of shampoo.
I wonder if he owns a hair dryer. :D
