Eeeeeewwwwww
One of my colleagues has just been to watch some surgery. Female-to-male transexuals have skin harvested from other parts of their bodies to create a penis, and often they'll use skin from the inner forearm to create the urethra - presumably for convenience as well as softness. Trouble is, hair grows on this skin. You can't electrolyse the follicles as the skin won't be good enough to use, so sometimes this hair continues to grow even after it's been transplanted. If this happens then, once every six months, you have to go to hospital and have 5-inch hairs plucked from your urethra using an endoscope. For two hours. Apparently this is very enjoyable to watch.

What frankly horrifying things have you heard today?

Haha!
Although, the hairs on my inner forearm don't grow that long. Why would this be any different?

Perhaps they don't grow that long because they keep getting pulled out?
Why not stick your arm in a cast for six months and see what they're like then? It would be SCIENCE.

Hmmm...
Or generalised friction, I guess.
So hairs don't have a pre-determined final length?
( Cawl, Fri 3 Jul 2009, 15:12, Reply)

I think they all do
that's why your eyebrows are only as long as they are and not as long as your hair, it's to do with how long the hair follicle lives for or something (i think)

Al knows this because he has been studying eyebrows for TWELVE WEEKS

I disagree
my eyebrows have decided to go through some sort of rebellious stage and are now twice as long as they normally used to be. I'm quite pleased though because they make me look like an owl, and therefore wise.

I can't think of anything worse that this^
Maybe once, I heard of a guy who dislocated his hip playing football. It was a tournament of some kind so there were medical staff on hand to 'pop it back in'... unfortunately one of his balls had slipped into the socket prior to 'popping'

*cups balls protectively*

That's not true is it
it sounds horrific, but your testicles can't slip up inside you and into your hip socket.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 3 Jul 2009, 15:16, Reply)

I can't remember where I heard it... probably the pub to be honest
But I believe the force of the 'pop' meant that the ball, which was hanging down to the side, was overlapped as such by his thigh. If that makes any sense at all?

Truely the worst thing i've ever heard but it does smell a little fishy

Lies, I'm afraid.
At least, that's what Snopes says.
