        • raynar, on 05/16/2008, -5/+1Apparently I do, since I'm right.
          Leave the basement, go wash the cheetos dust off your hands, and take a shower.

      He'll be the cool kid when he's doing handstands on top of vans in 10 years.
    • calebhawk, on 05/16/2008, -1/+13but only later to find out he has Parkinson's disease and the only way to stop it is to take a delorean back to the future...

      • raynar, on 05/16/2008, -1/+1ouch....
      • mytruckhasdents, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1he'll never get back to 1985, his flux capacitor is broken and they don't sell 'em on ebay.
    • NYCEST124, on 05/16/2008, -6/+3but gets stuck in the year 1955 where his mother develops a crush on him, combining beastiality and incest...
      • calebhawk, on 05/16/2008, -0/+7...and introduces rock and roll, and has to teach his dad how to be a man, and warns doc of his impending danger that will happen 40 years later risking a mix up in the space time continuum...

    i guess everything finds its way onto digg eventually
    • flashback99, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Ripley was famous for making ***** up, incidentally.
  • Spuy767, on 05/16/2008, -0/+83I find is very difficult to believe that this is baffling anyone, this is a well documented disorder and has been in the news on a number of occasions.
    • The_Dude, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1translation: it's been on Digg before in the last 6 months. The condition.
    • jsballardx, on 05/16/2008, -7/+1I know! He looks exactly like every other Indian I've ever seen!

      Grow up people.
    • finalcut, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2It is baffling people becuase they don't know how to make the hair stop growing back.
  • koft, on 05/16/2008, -1/+28http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrichosis
  • Philluminati, on 05/16/2008, -15/+6Christianity is going to have a hard time explaining that!

    Monkeys are descended from us!
    • calebhawk, on 05/16/2008, -4/+8...every digg story now a days has a comment about how grand it is to be an atheist... even if its about a new toy being made, it's haha look at the christians...

      ...nobody really cares anymore, if people believe in something you don't then let them, i mean no offense or anything but give it a rest
    • IKORKYI, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2monkeys are decended from us

      WOW
  • jigulous, on 05/16/2008, -7/+1My eyes ...
  • thorek, on 05/16/2008, -10/+4Laser hair removal?
    • duk0r, on 05/16/2008, -0/+6"I would like to get the hair removed but even after laser treatment it grows back," Pruthviraj said
    • stinger666, on 05/16/2008, -0/+4Have you even read? Pruthviraj's family have tried a range of treatments - including homeopathy, traditional Indian Ayurvedic remedies and more recently laser surgery - but none has proved successful
    • Iwantawii, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3How about waxing?
      • viggooo, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2Yea. Brazilian waxing is the way. Hurts like hell though!
  • goerg, on 05/16/2008, -3/+7this news was brought to you by wilkinson
  • YourMom1, on 05/16/2008, -6/+1They don't have electrolysis in India?
  • lucutus, on 05/16/2008, -6/+12Now this looks like an opportunity for Gillette to come up with a cure and launch the amazing MACH12. Imagine the positive P.R.
  • AmnioticEntity, on 05/16/2008, -12/+2buried. wrong topic.
    • AmnioticEntity, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1keep burying me. its still old & a picture and not (new)s.
  • Xproject01, on 05/16/2008, -8/+2This is just one big hairy mess!
  • MrZaiko, on 05/16/2008, -4/+10Teen Wolf 2: Escape from Bali.
    • gglynn07, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3There already was a Teen Wolf 2. It was Michael J. Fox's cousin but instead of basketball, he boxed, and instead of high school, he was in college. You oughta check it out.
    • zoid, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2This would have to be Teen Wolf Three as there is already a Teen Wolf 2(Too). I understand how you could miss it as it was probably one of the worst movies ever released.

      http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094118/

    • MrZaiko, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2***** it, lets start from part 1. new series (it worked with Batman)
    • samoan27, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1AaaaOooo Werewolves of Bali
    • mattb5, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1Maybe Bollywood is doing a remake. You think Bollywood has caught on to this viral marketing thing?
  • lotec, on 05/16/2008, -5/+3somebody get that boy a comb. STAT.
  • R75700, on 05/16/2008, -5/+2cute.
    Haha no i'm just kidding
  • gglynn07, on 05/16/2008, -2/+17I remember a CSI about this. One brother killed the other because he was jealous because the brother was less hairy. Kinda wierd.
    • Pink05, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2Wayyyyy off..The "werewolfs" girlfriends brother killed him because he didnt want his sister marrying a "werewolf", nor did he want their children carrying the "werewolf" gene. At least you remembered it was an episode from CSI though =)
    • benihime, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1I don't remember that one. The one i remember is the one that there is a brother and sister who suffer from this and the brother proposes to a "normal" woman and her brother disapproves and kills the guy. In turn, leaving the very hairy sister alone in her ditch in the wall, hidden from the world.

      Well yeah anyways....how is this baffling doctors? This is a very well documented disease.
    • googooly, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1There was an episode about girls with hypertrichosis that didn't want to testify to judge cause she afraid to come out of the room. sad
    • gglynn07, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1Ahhh...Yeah, thanks for clearing it up. I don't watch the show that much, but this is one of the few episodes that stuck out.
  • TheSpook, on 05/16/2008, -0/+4That slideshow sucked way less than Forbes'.
  • withears, on 05/16/2008, -4/+9That picture of the hairy-assed baby made me laugh.
  • krewl, on 05/16/2008, -5/+0It could be worse, he could have my patchy irish beard.
  • andyb747, on 05/16/2008, -7/+4it's a hairy situation
  • PosedMagnet, on 05/16/2008, -7/+2GIVE ME
    A KEG
    OF BEER
    • xdevit, on 05/16/2008, -1/+2Guess I'm the only one that got it..
    • JargonScott, on 05/16/2008, -0/+0Me too.
    • mattyd12466, on 05/16/2008, -0/+0remember, to say it correctly, youre eyes must also glow red!
  • schweinehundXX, on 05/16/2008, -5/+0there's always an option.
    http://www.whenrealityknocks.com/wp-content/conten ...
  • PedanticRaver, on 05/16/2008, -8/+3Hehe, it gets better too =)
    http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Unfortunate_Advertising_ ...
  • wallenqvist, on 05/16/2008, -5/+0Scary but really cool to grow up with a mustache and hairy ass as a baby. No one laughing in the shower as gym-class..
    • ZincSaucier, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2people laughed at you because of your non hairy ass?
  • threadweaver, on 05/16/2008, -0/+12I think that what this should remind us is that in the past people with unusual conditions were often either feared or held in high respect, even worshipped -and that those legends have been passed down to us and enhanced to give simple birth defects and human variations the aura of the supernatural. Werewolves, people that transform into wolves... hmmm I'm sure if this kid were run out of his village instead of loved he might become someone dangerous living in the bush. Think about the young girl with 8 limbs a few months back in India and all those statues of the multiple limbed goddesses.
  • AussieFox, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3There's actually a case worse than this, basically you couldn't see his face at all because the hair was thick and black.
    • finalcut, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2he obviously cuts his back a lot as you can tell by looking at the various photos. In some he has a thick covering and in others it is just a little. I doubt there are really differing degrees of the problem, just differing lengths those who are suffering from it will go to remove the hair on a regular basis.
  • Tyr7BE, on 05/16/2008, -4/+11"Begs for cure to rare condition"

    It exists. It's called the Mach 5 Razor.
    • finalcut, on 05/16/2008, -1/+2that isn't a cure it's a temporary relief. Shaving sucks - I can't imagine having to shave my ears, my forehead, etc.. and how would you safely shave your ears with all the ridges?
      • julianrod, on 05/18/2008, -0/+1Now you know how women feel... well, at least the ones that actually shave...
  • groone, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1watch discovery channel much?
  • Velnich, on 05/16/2008, -1/+12"An 11-year-old boy whose face and body are covered with hair is baffling medical experts"

    Why? Am I missing something? Rare, yes, but certainly not unheard of.
    • darlyn, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Did you even look at the pictures?? The kid is sprouting a darn beard all over his body, and you're telling me this isn't unheard of?
      • Velnich, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1This is far from the first time the condition involving that degree of hair growth has been reported on.
  • netneutrality, on 05/16/2008, -0/+14Man and I thought shaving was annoying enough. Poor kid.
  • adonison, on 05/16/2008, -0/+11Yikes, did anybody see the advertisement to the right of his pic?

    "if you love animals, help free them from cruelty.
    - World Society for the Protection of Animals"

    Now that's just adding insult to injury.
  • FireandFlame, on 05/16/2008, -3/+0Apparently none of you watch CSI if you don't know about this...
  • newmanator77, on 05/16/2008, -3/+3I must be missing something here...why can't he just shave?
  • DarkSenay, on 05/16/2008, -1/+1If you look at the thumbnail on the front page, it totally looks like Geraldo Rivera with a little kid....

    Seriously, go back and look.
  • RockNRollBeaver, on 05/16/2008, -1/+4You think he goes surfing on top of cars?
  • Lasereth, on 05/16/2008, -2/+1Sooooooooooo olllllllldddddddddddddddddddd
  • MerryMortician, on 05/16/2008, -1/+10when life hands you ***** like this.. you have to exploit it.

    i would host my own show and change my name to Lupe Wolfstein.
  • leapius, on 05/16/2008, -1/+1real life teen wolf!
  • MasterPain, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1It does not matter this guy is gonna be in phone support anyways so it's not like any one's going to see him
  • Kamacurus, on 05/16/2008, -1/+2I smell a new teen wolf movie.
  • vidaliasweet, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3Here's a short clip that explains it all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9eeg0y2wTQ
  • gambl0r, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Reminds me of the movie Human Nature :D
  • w3v3, on 05/16/2008, -0/+5When he hits puberty... *****...
  • Negligence, on 05/16/2008, -1/+1Maybe I just don't understand their culture, but why wouldn't this kid shave? Why allow the hair to grow to such lengths?
    • HakonD, on 05/16/2008, -2/+0Because it more or less grows out again within a day, so he'd have to spend at least one hour shaving each day, if not more. I saw a documentary about this exact phenomenon on National Geographic not too long ago. There was an entire family somewhere in South America that had this condition.
      • aladrin, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3I could find nothing to state that this hair would grow any faster than normal hair. -I- shave my face and neck every day and it doesn't take near an hour for me, he has more hair (forehead, etc) but it wouldn't take an hour.
  • zantos420, on 05/16/2008, -0/+4at least it isn't happening to the girls...
  • dudefather, on 05/16/2008, -1/+7werewolf!

    I don't know, you had him last!
  • whalt, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2This explains Wolf Blitzer.
  • RADRaze2KX, on 05/16/2008, -8/+0picture #4 has me more concerned about his nutrition than the excess body hair... I see fat guys at the lake that are in more desperate need of hair removal, but this kid needs some food... Someone get this kid a sponsor!!

    picture #7 can be considered child porn and seriously needs to be removed

    picture #8 almost made me vomit

    picture #12 reminds me of sesame street... I wonder if he vibrates when someone tickles him

    and at any rate, picture #1 will have some lunatic dog-loving girl falling head over heals with him, so what's the problem? some 50 people in the world are infected with this disease, and some 50 MILLION lunatic dog-loving females have access to the internet... just have him hit up "match.com" and search for all females in a 50 mile radius with a passion for "dogs" and "all things fuzzy"
    • thailand1972, on 05/16/2008, -0/+4A picture of a naked baby is "child porn" and "seriously needs to be removed"? I guess you were just being sarcastic....
  • lektroluv, on 05/16/2008, -1/+10Gillette: the best your werewolf son can get.
