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?

Hmmmm.... so did you shave it or throw it away?

It's still good, if you shave it first. Or wax it, either one.

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.

it was my neighbor who borrowed my grill, and the next morning i found he forgot some chicken which sat overnite and had small hairs growing on it...

i was kind enuff to return the chicken to him ...

Maybe it was mold.

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

 

[eliteorange]

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.

our hair/nails don't grow after death

It is an urban legend... even though some of you guys gave the answer why it's not
