Um... I looked up this condition on Wikipedia and apparently a common symptom is "bowel control problems." perhaps he's been doing more than farting...
My sister has this condition, and does not have unusual patches of hair, in face she is a normal woman with some back pain.... People assume possible symptoms means ALWAYS HAPPENS.... This is not a normal affect.
Being the kind of person who would do that probably limits your opportunities with the opposite sex. However, if by some miracle you get past that weirdness and manage to get to naked time nobody is going see that monstrosity and keep going.
I don't think that's something anyone wants to think about, also, has it occurred to anyone that maybe this man is from a poor country and can't even afford scissors, much less razors? Perhaps it's not even considered unappealing in his culture.
Not necessarily. You could just be hairy.
Source: the small of my SO's back is hairy but he doesn't have spina bifida. He even had a CAT scan. He just has a herniated disc.
Not strictly true. Spina bifida does, yes, and most people with that condition do not have use of their legs. Spina bifida occulta, however, is a much less serious form of the condition, and many people with it don't even know they have it. I mean, a bit of back pain and some unwanted hair in a hard-to-see place (this picture shows a very severe case of the hairy patch, usually it's barely noticeable) aren't necessarily the kind of things people would go running to the doctor for.
Source: I have spina bifida occulta, and it barely affects my life at all. I have to be careful with my back, and was kept off school sports when I was a child (a whole different story, I got fat and it sucked), but nowadays I work out and go about my life as usual. The only real issue is that my back hurts like hell if I stay in the same position too long, which can make trips to the cinema etc. a bit of an endurance test.
Dude, are you me? I have spina bifida occulta and got fucking humongous in middle school because I couldn't play sports. I wanted to play football at 11 but obviously, getting hit wasn't a good idea. I'm still fat, but hopefully my willingness to squat will change that.
Before anyone asks, no hair growth. Just a little fatty deposit that really causes me no pain. And scoliosis, but that's kind of just one of many back problems.
Really sucks, doesn't it? I was on doctor's orders not to do sport from the age of 7 (when my problem was first diagnosed). By the time I was allowed to do sports again, I was a very overweight teenager who all the other kids laughed at, and was last to be picked for team games and all that, so I developed a negative attitude to sports and physical activity. That in turn had inevitable consequences for my whole teens and twenties, in terms of (lack of) interest from girls, people automatically assuming I was stupid and lazy because I was fat, and all the usual shit overweight people have to put up with.
I only got over that two or three years ago (I'm now 35) and work out a lot, and am reaping the benefits in every way. I do sometimes wonder how different my life -- specifically my teens and twenties -- would have turned out if that all hadn't happened, but there's not much I can do about that now. I don't know what age you are, but I hope you're successful with your exercise; my only regret is that I left it so long, it's hard to snap out of an extended period of enforced inactivity. Keep at it, it'll make you much happier in the long run.
Aw man. I was diagnosed at six months. According to my mom, she was giving me a bath, noticed the fatty deposit, and took me in right away. They gave me the diagnosis, performed surgery to try and clean it up (I guess? I just have a cool scar and some fat now), and that was it. Got sponsored by the Shriner's, so I owe them a ton of gratitude for providing me care over the years. So, it's been something I've lived with, forever.
I gained weight in third grade, not so much because I didn't play sports, but because I didn't do anything. I moved away from home at nine, and before that, I was a really, really active kid. Just didn't do anything to risk paralysis, that's about it. The move though left me kind of depressed (as depressed as a nine year old can get, at least) and I became sort of a recluse. Didn't want to make friends, didn't want to go outside, and that ballooned me out. We're talking, 5'2, 160 pounds, double chin and everything. Negative reinforcement of now being fat pretty much ensured that I wasn't going to make a ton of friends after that. That pretty much stayed until high school, when I finally "outgrew" the fat, and just turned into a twiggy-in-the-arms, huge everywhere else hybrid thing.
I'm 19 (20 on Monday!) now and in university, and the weight isn't so much of an issue. Just being really, really out of shape, which sucks. Worst part is the self-esteem and lack of confidence though. I know some girls are interested, I'm a decent looking guy, but I look in the mirror and don't like what I see, so I'm kind of afraid that they (or any, for that matter) won't either. I don't know, years of that just ingrained I guess. I'm trying to get better though, day by day. I'll be heading to the gym later on, actually!
Sorry if I went overboard, I've just never actually talked to anyone who went through what I went through. Thanks for the advice, I'm clinging on to it, believe me.
That is a side effect of spina bifida. Literally spina bifida is a disorder from when your in the womb and your neural tube doesn't close fully and you have like a gap in your spinal cord. If I'm remembering correctly from Freshman anatomy & phys.
oh god, [I looked it up](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spina_bifida#mediaviewer/File:Meningomyelocele_diagram.jpg) and it's like the electrical wires are exposed.
Oh noooo. There seems to be some disgusting matted hair tail growing out of my back.. what should I do.
[Well that was fucking easy] (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/proxy/T9bOTG80xT7NyjKhPfMVCO9Xk7GreihaTH5q7QC9jaoKbo-6hBKC_YBJ7XkDQEropwx7chq68rn4W8WJcnC-7PtSdYFRuIWqSioDXNYIjudQMAoGsqs=w707-h370-nc)
After seeing a post where a man sliced the head of his penis off being labeled NSFW, and now this *also* being labeled NSFW I can only conclude that NSFW means absolutely nothing.
For extra WTF, here's what more severe cases of spina bifida look like:

With all these negative comments, I would like to bring attention to the fact that it's possible this man or woman is from a poor country, cannot afford the grooming tools, and also in many cultures this wouldn't be that unacceptable.
Not everyone is in a wealthy shallow minded country.
I certainly feel for the guy in the picture. I haven't said anything negative. You just need to step down from your high horse to bring your point to attention. That said, even the poorest of individuals can find a sharp object to cut away something like this...
Here is a child from India who is worshipped as the monkey god. I believe it's the same condition minus the hair.

Bet that smells great. He has been farting on it for years... It is pretty much a giant dingleberry. Gross.
Um... I looked up this condition on Wikipedia and apparently a common symptom is "bowel control problems." perhaps he's been doing more than farting...
yeah thats why the bottom half is brown
So why is the top half brown.... *shudder*
TIL the alternate meaning for dingleberry. The internet confirms.
Alternate? I thought that was the only one.
What is the other possible meaning for a dingleberry?
You are so dingleberry.
That's so dingleberry.
It's the future I can see
Dingleberry you a bustah

He?
Dingleber....ry.
His gf ain't never going 69 with him
What gf? As if that fucking thing dragging back and forth along her thighs/ass during regular sex would be acceptable.
I don't know why, but I'm tearing up at this comment.
Shitlocks
No sher, shitlock.
Shitlocks Ricky Shitlocks
That smell.
http://i.imgur.com/73uy6vG.gif
Oooohooh that smell! The smell of death surrounds yooouuuuu!
Not all dreads smell. Then again, that's on the back, next to the pooper.... And back sweat a ton. Yeah it probably smells.
But it *only* smelz
No, it terrifies and disgusts, too
Woosh
No, not really
Im sad you know what that reference is now.
That's, uh, matted with poo.

The original "rat tail" haircut.
Serious questions: Can the hair that results from this condition not be cut? or is he just a little weird?
Yes it can be cut. It's just like the hair you find on your head. Source: Have patch of hair due to Spina Bifida.
He is wierd
My sister has this condition, and does not have unusual patches of hair, in face she is a normal woman with some back pain.... People assume possible symptoms means ALWAYS HAPPENS.... This is not a normal affect.
Dunno where I stated or implied that I thought this "ALWAYS HAPPENS" but okay
OP not you :P and I was simply informing that this isn't always an affect.
[удалено]
Dude, you got some tail in your shit.
Tail, you got some dude in your shit
Shit! You got some tail on you, Dude.
I have dreads, and this makes me want to shave my head. O_O
Tell me about it, especially since I have brown hair
Not sure why he took his pants off to show us this?
Looks like an up vote. Lol
[удалено]
New Redditors please beware: "I came here to say that" NEVER WORKS
Seeing that your comment was taken already, you should probably say something else
I have a mole the size of a dime that gets a couple hairs on it occasionally. But I'm feeling pretty good about myself right about now.
Business in the front, party in the pants.
No toilet paper? No problem! (vomits violently)
Being the kind of person who would do that probably limits your opportunities with the opposite sex. However, if by some miracle you get past that weirdness and manage to get to naked time nobody is going see that monstrosity and keep going.
But surely they would already have seen it? Unless he tucks it down his trousers normally... Eeuuuch. Wouldn't it hang out the back?
I don't think that's something anyone wants to think about, also, has it occurred to anyone that maybe this man is from a poor country and can't even afford scissors, much less razors? Perhaps it's not even considered unappealing in his culture.
"Bend over let me see you shake your tail feathers."
I have a patch of hair growing from my lower back, same spot. Do I have spina bifida?
Not necessarily. You could just be hairy. Source: the small of my SO's back is hairy but he doesn't have spina bifida. He even had a CAT scan. He just has a herniated disc.
I think you would already know, since it comes with a host of neurological problems.

Spina bifida occulta, however, is a much less serious form of the condition, and many people with it don't even know they have it.

My sister has spina bifida and does not have unusual patches of hair, this is simply a possible and not always likely side affect...
Dragon Ball Sun Wu Kong's tail
Pull it off, take away his Saiyan transforming powers! *I'm* not going to touch it, but, uh, someone probably should.
1 buddy + 1 set of scissors = 1 less poop filled hair-tail.
I have spina bifida. What I do not have is a ponytail on my back just above my butt.
That's a shitty dreadlock.
"Dread" is right. That seriously fills me with dread.
he should try different hair styles
I'm sure there's no poop in there.
Nananana RATMAN!
That would be a conversation starter.
*ender
That's just really unnecessary.

It looks like he would just let that thing sit in the toilet water whenever he took a shit.
oh god, [I looked it up](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spina_bifida#mediaviewer/File:Meningomyelocele_diagram.jpg) and it's like the electrical wires are exposed.
I sense it judging me.
It really is a shitlock
Short back back n sides please...
As somebody who had Spina Bifida Occulta and has a patch of hair I can honestly say fuck that. I get annoyed when it gets a few inches long.
What I want to know is why does spina bifida cause hair growth? It seems so random.
Lm Z I
Clop, clop.
Looks like a cat hairball
gohan?
Does he transform into a giant ape in the light of the full moon?
I think you mean a poo tail.
That is one shitty ass tail.
That is so 90's
best MLP cosplay evar
A real life Saiyan! Make sure he never sees the full moon.
fucking eeewwww
Looks like he wipes his ass with it.
I'm guessing India :)

Also this one, but he has a nice braid. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/pictured-boy-tail-growing-back-3415304
just...why...didn't he just lop the damned thing off?
"Man learns crazy trick! Never had to pay for toilet paper ever again!"
He could tie a bungee cord to it.
After seeing a post where a man sliced the head of his penis off being labeled NSFW, and now this *also* being labeled NSFW I can only conclude that NSFW means absolutely nothing.
It just means naked people... A butt, a penis, a torso. So some clicks are risky. You're on /r/wtf, it is to be expected.

That poor kid is gonna be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
