I have MPB and used to think the same. I thought unless your skull is shaped like Michael Jordan’s, shaving your head would be a bad idea. But about 7 years ago I tried it, at the urging of my wife, and at least I think I look better without the hair. I agree it depends on the person, but you wont know for sure until you try it.
It also depends on the person looking at the head. I almost always think hair looks better. I generally like a bad comb over more than a shaved head. I’m probably in the minority on this, but tastes very. And i think a shaved head looks worse than a naturally bald head, because i have associations with “skin heads”.
Your grooming choices should make you happy, though. Maybe ask your significant other’s opinion, too. And then ignore everyone else.
I chose to interpret “used the toilet on” to mean allowing a body excretion, rather than a specifically designed receptacle for said excretion.
For a boat that means aiming over the side. Some other conveyance was a panel truck with a gallon jug in the back 
Speaking of boats, I’ll need to amend my answer if that includes ships. I was on a 3 or 4 day Alaska ferry from Washington to Sitka. Although I have no memory of using the facilities, it’s very likely that I did.
I know a Dope poll is not at all a scientifically run representative survey sample of the population at large. But I’m still surprised that 58% of respondents said they had used shrooms, acid, ketamine, mescaline or some other such substance. The Dope is mostly in the 1950s-1970s age demographic. Was hallucinogen usage that common back in that time?
In the 1950’s? only in limited social groups, I think, though I might just have been a clueless kid. In the 1970’s? Hell yes. In some groups also in parts of the '60’s.
Bicycle. There was a bike racer who had, ummm, issues during the race (I don’t remember who it was enough to search). There are no timeouts in cycling & races can be a couple of hours long, especially at the pro level. 4-6 hrs is not uncommon for them.
I meant that to mean used an actual, proper toilet. Peeing in a bottle doesn’t count. That was precisely why I phrased it as “used the toilet” rather than “urinated or defecated”.
damn that autocorrect!
D’oh! And corrected.
The poll item says “boat/ship,” so that counts.
As to crosswords, when you do them electronically, it’s caps.

Yes
I’m hydrocephalic. Shaving it would make my head look even bigger than it already is.
It was during the 80s and 90s.
Huh? Hydrocephalgia would give you a big head only if left untreated.
mmm
My neurologist at the time figured that since I had made it to the age of thirty-two without any problems and no one really noticing (except the occasional “you’ve got a big head”), it was better not to do anything.
Hmm. It might be fun to be a cat a few hours a day. I wonder what it would feel like to get my belly rubbed or my head or ears scritched as a cat? Playing with my tail could be diverting.
There are also some nights when I suspect I’d sleep better as a cat than as a [checks self] human.
So far at least, fortunately, I’ve had no teeth knocked out and no bones broken my entire life, although I’ve come close a few times.
“Xavier” starts with a Z-sound when I say it aloud. That’s how I’ve always heard it.
As to saving lives: some fellow Scouts and I performed CPR on an older man who suffered a heart attack while visiting our summer camp. An ambulance came pretty quickly and IIRC he pulled through. I’ve warned pedestrians about fast-oncoming cars a few times, and broke up a fight once that could have turned ugly. I suspect some of the criminal law cases I’ve handled haven’t resulted in homicides because of what I did. And once, on the Outer Banks, I was able to swim ashore while towing two of my little boys after we got caught in a bad rip current. I think I may have saved all three of our lives that day.
Depends on how soon I’m re-using the plate, what I’m using it for, and whether I did a batch of dishes inbetween – I don’t do dishes right away every time after eating, but when I do wash a batch I’ll pretty much sweep up whatever’s around. And if it’s been sitting there a while I may not reuse it because I’m not sure by then what’s been on it – I don’t bother memorizing what plate I used for the crackers and which one had the thawing meat on it.
I use the “power rinse” on our faucet, then put to dry.
I typically reuse plates even when they’ve had wet food on them… by the time I need them again whatever was there before has dried. (The joys of being single!)
As for time-sharing being a cat: the ability to lick one’s own genitals could be a plus, but I’ll reserve judgement on that point! 
In general, if I’m eating something dry that would only leave a few crumbs, I’ll use a paper towel instead. Then use the towel later to mop up a spill or similar usage
