I've always noticed how Asians have strange hair growth. Not on top of the head, but on the head. The inability to grow thick beards, the Foo Man Chu mustaches, the hair growth that flourishes within the confines of a mole, the mini sideburns that don't grow down the face, but instead grow long and look great when doing high-flying kung-fu moves.

Seemed like only people from the Old World (i.e. Asia, as opposed to Canada) had such anomalies. As a (fairly) young CBC, I never thought it could happen to me. But if you look closely at my right eyebrow now, you might just notice a stand-out. A go-getter in the world of brow hairs. An over-achiever. At roughly 5 times the length of those around it, it is the Yao-Ming of facial hair. It's long enough to stroke! Actually, I do stroke it; but only to repeatedly convince myself of its existence, not because it brings me deep thoughts and wisdom.

Anyone else have similar stories?
