August 7, 2007: China's hairiest man... balding

The Chicago Tribune's official caption says 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. But as axlrosen notices, the guy is losing it upstairs.

This is not an uncommon situation. In fact I've heard a rule of thumb that says something like -- the more hair on your chest at age 30, the less hair on your head at age 40. It's not universal, but if you have more testosterone to create chest hair, you'll also go bald faster, it's likely.

But IotD takes issue with this "hairiest man in China" nonsense. Two years ago IotD covered one hairier.

Was he in "Hairy" and the Hendersons?:p

Um, carry the torch? I'd advise against letting him do so. It's too likely he'd light himself up and then nobody could stand the smell long enough to get close and have the torch passed on. :whofart:

Uh, UT, I think this is the same guy as the one in the linked story from three years ago.

He's got a really bad drag coefficient...



...in more ways than one.

Hey, I resemble that, or at least my back does. :D

Hold on, is this a hoax? I always thought yeti were supposed to have white fur.

Bah, he doesn't even have a unibrow. Just ate too many dogs, that's all.

He's really vain. He gets his brows waxed.

It's the same guy.
Would be cooler if his name was Harry Breast.

It IS the same guy... sorry!

that is one ugly fucker, hair or no, whew!

that's not 96% of his body covered in hair, no way I can see plenty of skin.

Is that the Statue of Liberty buried half-way in sand in the background?

Am I the only one who thinks something about his legs or whatever skin colored things those are in the foreground, are faked? And is he wearing a diaper?

Toad, the two are one and the same.

Wonder if he likes to garden in his spare time. Then he could go by...... wait for it......

Hairy Potter! :lol:
