"They got the benzine ready, I stuck my hand in the water in the sink and then into the benzine and lit it...and it hurt like hell! You see, in the meantime I had grown hairs on the back of my hand, which acted like wicks and held the benzine in place while it burned, whereas when I had done it earlier I had no hairs on the back of my hand. After I did the experiment for my fraternity brothers, I didn't have any hairs on the back of my hands either." -- R Feynman, Surely you're joking Mr Feynman.

Just sayin'
