Still can't get enough?

The Internet is well-known as home to all things bizarre, and hairy chests proved no exception.

A quick search on Google came up with some 1,430,000 entries on the subject. One caveat: be careful when clicking during a generic search such as this. Here are a few of the more noteworthy sites for your consideration:

www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Makeup/2388: On April 2, 1972, Burt Reynolds made history with a cheeky centerfold for Cosmopolitan magazine. That he was nude was one thing, but his proud display of an abundance of chest and other body hair was what set tongues a-waggin'. That issue of Cosmo became an instant collector's item; an initial 700,000 copies were rushed into print. See a whole gallery of Burt Reynolds' pictures here.
