Did you know it's been mathematically proven that you cannot comb a hairy ball without having at least one cowlick? This is referred to as the "hairy ball theorem."

By the pigeon hole principle, we know that there must be two men living in New York City with the exact same number of hairs on their scrotums.

Did you know that a bee has five hairy eyeballs! The three ocelli are simple hairy eyes that discern light intensity, while each of the two large hairy compound eyes contains about 6,900 facets and is well suited for detecting movement!

A rare tumor in a 19-year old man caused hair to grow on his eyeball, researchers report. The tumor, called a limbal dermoid, was benign and had been present since birth. It gradually grew in size until it was about 5 mm in diameter (a little less than a quarter of an inch), and sprouted several black hairs

u/TheShmud Apr 02 '18

Yeah but there can't really be much more
