A million years ago, it seems, my mom and I were playing the original Trivial Pursuit and the answer to one of the questions was "Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy." We laughed heartily at that answer and it became a running joke as a default answer when we didn't have a real one.
Anyhow, a decade plus has passed since then. A recent Discovery Health program documented the medical conditions of "sideshow freaks" and first up was said Dog-Faced Boy. Turns out he had severe hypertrichosis.
Don't know why I posted on this, but it's just interesting (if not a little creepy, in all honesty).
