In 2009, a retired policeman called Geraint Woolford was admitted to Abergale Hospital in north Wales and ended up next to another retired policeman called Geraint Woolford. The men weren’t related, had never met and were the only two people in the UK called Geraint Woolford.

A bag full of damp hair doesn't weigh that much. (I'm basing this on salon floor sweep-up.) Hair isn't that heavy.mistermack wrote:How, when it's inside a stomach full of digestive secretions, does it stay dry?Animavore wrote: Because a hairball is mostly air

There isn't normally much air at all in an animal's stomach. There are powerful muscles constantly squeezing it and moving stuff around, to aid digestion. The air is squeezed out.hadespussercats wrote:A bag full of damp hair doesn't weigh that much. (I'm basing this on salon floor sweep-up.)

I've read reports of young girls having hairballs much heavier than four pounds removed. ( nowhere near basketball size ).

This claim always makes me ask about tattoos. Do the cells just replace themselves around the ink molecules, or does the body faithfully replace the ink molecules as if it's part of the body?Svartalf wrote:Every seven years, a human being is no longer the same person he used to be as every single cell in his body has died and been replaced at least once.
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

Re: That's amazing ! Post incredible facts here.
I'm not an expert, but I think that the ink molecules are inserted between cells, so when the cells slough off and are replaced the ink is simply re-surrounded by new cells. I'm not drunk enough just yet to work out the details of this hypothesis, mind you. But give me an hour or two.Faithfree wrote:This claim always makes me ask about tattoos.

Great article. It claims that it was both 4 pounds and 10 pounds.

If a young girl can have a ten pound hairball, I can't see a four pound one bothering a 500 pound tiger.
