Didn't John Young note that a large portion of the waste removed from the London underground was human hair and skin flakes? Waste not want not.
Sounds like a bit of an urban legend.

Someone tell the Travel Channel in that case, they did a story on the London underground, including the Underground (big U) and mentioned this very thing. It was called "Underground London" and unfortunately, the last day they list as an air date is 8/25. Seems they even have a name for the people who have to clean the human debris up...fluffers, if I recall correctly. Brings to mind another occupation that I won't detail here. -ryan
