dead people do too. so if you are planning on commiting suicide don't bother shaving.

Uh......

You leave chicken out of the fridge overnight? :disgust:

And you wonder why there are strange things growing on it?

That is urban legend.
No it isn't.

It is a misinterpretation, however. Dead people's hair and fingernails appear to grow because of skin shrinkage, AFAIK.

Everytime I order chicken wings from a Chinese Food Restaurant it has chicken hair on it..
I don't think it's actual hair but little bits of feather left over ?

who knows .. it's yummy

its not mold.... which i believe are forms of alge which feeds on glucose based compounds...



this however is hair, which sprouts from the epiderm layer...

No, it's not.

And that other guy is right. It's probably happening because the corpse dessicates.
