Wonder no more, friends. It’s your hair. Yes, your hair. Long hair steals the brain’s energy because it “consumes a great deal of nutrition.” :rolleyes:
Yeah-you betcha. Ever since I grew my hair long, I’ve been unable to solve the problems in my daughter’s homework without getting hungry.
I wonder how they explain all of the art, music, inventions, and other productivity from us undernourished longhair types. Hmmm.
Strange news. I’ve been shaving my head for a while and I’m still dumb as a post. Maybe I need to start shaving off some skin. Think it’ll make me more smarter?
As a woman with a lot of hair, I’ve got to wonder if this applies to females as well. They seem to be specifically targeting males here. I’ve always blamed my kids for my drooling idiot status. Could it be that I owe them an apology? Or does long hair only suck the life out of men? This could be life-altering information.
You are North Korean I take it? This is a serious question, I was just curious. Do you live by any army bases in Texas? My brother-in-law is in the army and he was telling me that they have a lot of North Korean spies there (or at least they think they do). Not that I’m saying you’re a spy, but just curious if you run into any problems with that.
The whole North Korean situation is incredibly depressing, especially if you’ve spent any time in South Korea. I remember watching commercials for donating food to N. Korea showing all the starving people. It was much like in America how we see the ads for African villages with children with flies, except that in Seoul, this was less than a hundred miles away instead of a continent.
I knew an old guy who was stationed in India in WW II. He said his Indian barber would finish each haircut by singeing the hair ends with a candle. The barber explained that hair is tubular, and it loses moisture if it isn’t singed.
Today, many people believe that vitamins in shampoo will nourish the hair. Maybe hair mythology will always be with us.
I remember reading (in Atlantic Monthly or the New Yorker, but I can’t remember which) about a year ago that N. Korean women never had hair longer than shoulder length.
Obviously, since women are stronger, we are able to sustain much more hair than weak, paltry men. Although perhaps my insistence on maintaining such long hair is what’s keeping me back from ruling the world.
I was born in N. Korea, but escaped with refugees as an infant and adopted by an American couple from a South Korean orphanage.
Nobody’s ever accused me of being a spy, though I’ve heard a story or two of such from aquaintances–nearly all South Koreans–I’ve met at Korean culture even ts.
I think people have so many other irrational reasons to hate me that they just never get around to accusing me of being a spy.
When I was in high school back in 19whayasay our legendary football coach had two theories–
1)However long your hair grows outside your head it grows inside your head. Long hair strangles up the brain so keep your hair short.!
2)Those football players at the black high school will quit if you you just smack 'em real hard first thing.
The jury is still out on the hair theory but the black high school beat our team 54-0.
Hey Kaitlyn, I’ve been reading through your first day of school thread (around page 4 I think right now) and I just wanted to say that what you’re doing is awesome.
More on topic, so if my hair isn’t sucking out my body’s resources, what is? Because God knows it isn’t from any kind of physical exercising.
