Hair cuts for Chimps

This article notes that hair on your head continually grows yet fur stops growing once it reaches a certain length. Thus, the researchers conclude that fur is different from hair.

I can see their point as my dog simply sheds his fur when he's through with it, and grows more when he needs it. Yet, speaking for myself, I have to get a hair cut to look good (although balding) yet my back hair, arm hair, leg hair, etc. do seem to be of limited length.

As you read this article, ask yourself: Does this research deserve and Ig Noble Prize? It's a candidate for the next ceremony, I'll tell you that.
