Good god almighty! Does that condition preclude growing hair? Because that just ain’t something you want hanging out there voluntarily, IMHO. However, I’ve noticed some dudes with mighty unfortunate head shapes and scars and stuff that still insist on wearing buzzcuts. Doesn’t their barber (or wife or friends or SOMEBODY, fergodssakes) tell them “Hey Bro, I’d let a little hair grow there if I was you…” ---

[/QUOTE] I dunno, if I was incarcerated, I think I’d _want_ to look like a scary mutant that no one wanted to mess with. And I’d tell people I could kill them with the power of my brain. ---

[QUOTE=Mangetout] I’ve seen ridges like that on an actor somewhere - not a completely obscure one. I want to say Forest Whitaker, but I don’t think it’s him - someone who looks a bit like him.
