Hathrume Duk Apparently in biblical times, removing one's hair or having one's hair forcibly removed served a number of purposes. For example, as a means of expressing remorse during mourning: "Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them." JER 16:6 Some sources also list it as a potential form of punishment: "Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it." EZE 29:18 Overall, the official church view seemed to be accepting of baldness: "And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean." LEV 13:40 In fact, the bible goes so far as to warn potential teasers of the bald: "And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head." KI2 2:23 "And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them." KI2 2:24 The Mormon church seems to be the first church with its own church-guaranteed anti-balding protection system. Apparently, the citizens of Utah are scarcely a balding bunch: Alma 11:44 Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now... ==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*== 1800 A.D. Englishmen tried to jolt their hair follicles into action by brushing cold Indian tea and then fresh lemon on their scalp. Less gentrified folk tried to fertilize their scalps with fresh chicken droppings. info pamphlet from Upjohn (makers of Minoxidil) )^( )^( )^( )^( )^( )^( )^( )^( )^( )^( )^( ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone wants to understand art.

Unlike most potatoes that are highly susceptible to pests, said scientist K.V. Raman, the hirsute spud fights them off. The shaggy tuber is developed from a wild potato with thin hairs. These hairs on the plant's stalks and leaves secrete a sticky substance that traps and kills small insects as they feed or reproduce. The plant combats a larger common pest, the Colorado beetle, in a different way. The insect eats the leaves and gets a serious case of constipation from the sticky secretion. The bug's stomach bloats, crushing its ovaries and curtailing its reproduction. While the tufted tater will reduce such environmental and financial costs, it still tastes like a normal potato, said Prof. Robert Plaisted of Cornell University, which has been developing hybrids under contract to the potato center for 15 years. The new spud species also has the same nutrition value as currently cultivated potatoes, and similar yields and growing characteristics, he said. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

He disembarked in Southampton and on the gangway he was already overwhelmed by journalists asking questions. One of them asked, "Mr Gandhi, what do you think of modern civilization?" And Mr Gandhi said, "That would be a good idea." E. F.

In his senior year of high school - during afternoons spent smoking pot and "questioning the universe" - he began wondering about why people wear clothes. He decided it was "stupid," and began to research the legal definition of lewd, and the laws and history of nudity. Hartford Courant Nov. 23, 1992 The Nude Guy From Berkeley even made the TV news here at the Netherlands. In my opinion it is surprising, that such a news item reaches Dutch TV. The case reminds me of an event of one or two years ago, which only reached a small local newspaper. The story is about as follows: Rotterdam, Three male students were arrested last weekend. Somebody phoned the police because the students were naked and walking over a car. The students denied having walked over the car. They were put in cell (naked), allowing all (male and female) police officers to have a look at them. After a short period they were released; they had to walk back home. In the nude. Henk-Jan van Tuyl "Did you hear about the naked guy at Berkeley? I suppose it's OK if he wants to go to class nude, but can you imagine having to be the person who has to sit in the same seat in the next class? Especially if the seat's still warm? But I suppose they were justified in suspending him, I heard 3 or 4 fellow students were using him to cheat on an anatomy test." Jay Lenno It is true, people here at Santa Cruz enjoying getting naked. A couple times a year there are 'nude parties' in "the Meadow above Elf Land". Cowell students are also know for their nude lawn sliding during times of rain. Some of these 'lawn people' do decide to venture off and run around campus, but this is not too common. I think most of the time they have been smokin a little Bill Clinton if ya know what I mean. My roommate enjoys lawn sliding and says the only real problem is the sprinkler heads. David J. Duffield Martinez, who grew up in Cupertino, CA, took his first nude walk a couple of years ago, strolling down Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road. Last year, he went to class bare-chested. This fall, layer by layer, he worked his way down to nakedness and then had about two dozen others join him at a "Nude-In" he organized Sept. 29 in Sproul Plaza at the University of California at Berkeley. The idea was to demonstrate how useless and repressive clothing is.

However, local citizens can streak all they want. Loony Laws...
