Did you know …
That Sir Isaac Newton only ever drank beverages that had been filtered through his own hair? It’s true!
There’s no indication that Newton believed that filtering liquids through his hair had any health or sanitary benefits—it just seems like he really enjoyed the taste of his own hair. In fact, after his death a postmortem examination revealed a ball of hair in his stomach weighing slightly more than 40 pounds. Newton’s physician had hypothesized that there would be a trichobezoar in ol’ Isaac’s guts, and regularly suggested to the physicist that he remove it through surgery, but Newton refused each time.
He loved that hair.
