h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Mine are getting scary. They (the individual hair folicles) have all started to seek a new direction in life - one that seems to be anywhere, as long as it doesn't mean sitting parallel to my eye. There's the 'elephant hair' too - you know, the hair that... no, I can't go on with this, they're watching me type, and I feel a mutiny coming on. I'll probably wake up blind with a canopy of hair over my eye sockets as they grow full circle and start forming nets. You think I'm joking.

Is just a sign of getting old, like nose and ear hair

I have a single very very fine hair that grows out of the centre of my forehead and gets about 5 inches long before I notice.......!!!

No mole or anything for the 5 inch hair to grow from? That can happen, had one of those on my arm once...

Perpaps hair *is* alive, and we just aren't intelligent enough to communicate with it hmmm? I know *I* will start talking to my eyebrows in the mornings from now on...
