20,000 Tons Of Pubic Hair Trimmed In Preparation For Valentine's Day (http://www.theonion.com/content/news/20_000_tons_of_pubic_hair_trimmed)
Where do they get these statistics?

There's a huge spike every year in the first half of February," said Brooks Watson, who is head of sales at Schick, makers of the TrimStyle razor for women. "The rest of the year, Americans generate about 50,000 tons of total trimmings, but in the week before this special holiday we see a massive jump. It's a veritable clear-cutting down there."

I like how The Onion unabashedly tells the naked truth, cutting through all the stuff that other publications would never touch. They run a really smooth operation over there.

It's smooth because they shave.

personal trimming still varies by season, and plummets to levels almost as low as Greece's during the week of Thanksgiving.

it's because you don't groom them as often as your head hair.

If you can spin dog hair into yarn (true), you can certainly do the same thing with da pubes. Think of all the hats and scarves you could knit with all that! Think of it as a corporal work of mercy... :)

I think hair removal cream is used more commonly at Christmas. I seem to recall a line from the Night Before Christmas

"The stockings were hung by the chimney with Nair, in hopes that St. Nickalaus soon would be bare."

does anyone know why pubes are curly?

Hair is made of protein and like most proteins gets affected by heeeat. So when you sit on ur ass all day your pubes get all curly. Heat changes proteins. Get a fever past 98.6 degrees and ur brain will cook like an egg. Mmmmm eggs. Hence the good and bad hair days are probably due to how you sleep at night with ur hair. Do you sleep on it and let heat change it to curly?
