I don't even have to bold the crazy, it does it for me!

It's not often I come across something that is kind enough to name-drop things known to be bullshit, like Kirlian photos. It's nice when it's cut and dry like that.

Of course, s'not like it -needs- that to be described as "Wat,"but it helps!

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Thank you for that. Also, as my hair is past my shoulders, you'd think I wouldn't have trouble finding my damned keys.

[Sirus]

My hair is at my shoulders. Gonna get it cut though; it tangles basically on its own, ties itself up in knots, and seems to be falling out in copious amounts.

[Yoink]

noooooooooooooo

... *raises finger* Isn't... isn't hair, like. Dead? Or something? Kinda' like fingernails? I certainly know it's got no sensitivity whatsoever... scalp does, but the hair itself is, like, nop. I guess it does have like oils and stuff?

I... guess I could check about the electro-whatsit conduction or whatevs. Wrap the hair around a radio-hijacker and see if the signal improves. Know it does when it's held, so if the the hair's a transmitter/medium for the same phenomena then it should do the same. Will test tomorrow and see.

Because hell, might as well. Only take a few seconds.

Hair is totally dead, Frumple. And what's more, it's literally solid keratin.

So unless your nails emit electromagnetic radiation and the teeth of baleen whales are an as-yet untapped source of ready-made radio transceiver dishes, I thiiiiink it might be bullshit.

(also, oils come from your scalp, they just travel upward and along the strands into the main hair body)

[Frumple]

Hell desc, fairly sure it's bullshit as well, but when you're given a hypothesis, a means of testing it, and no conflicting resource allocation concerns, you might as well test it.

Don't have the means to see if making a radio transceiver dish out of baleen whale teeth would be effective, though. I doubt I could even rustle up the scratch to plate a dish in whaletooth. Also don't think that would do anything particularly useful, but better to test and know than not and not. The first thing to distrust is sense. The second is methodology. The third is sensory input. Then there's a bunch more things to distrust, yesyes.

[Descan]

Like pants.

The devils tubes, they are!

[Frumple]

Pants are lies made whole-cloth, a deceit in the face of weather and flesh. Free yourself of them, and you let free the deceit of the flesh, a lie of blood sinew and skin.

[Descan]

...

I think I'll stick with my kilt.

* Descan twirl~

[Arx]

Well, that escalated quickly.

[Descan]

... Do you have something against kilts?

[Arx]

Nothing against kilts, just in the space of half an hour and one page the thread went from this

this.

Bad article on use of hair for telepathy triggers spontaneous stripping?

[Frumple]

No, no, please no stripping. As a general rule, I like the lie of form and flesh to stay put. The human form may be aesthetically pleasing in a sort of academic, observation-of-objective-perfection, way, but I have been socially conditioned to prefer not walking out of my front door into a massive sprawling wall of wang.

[LordSlowpoke]

you better not visit china then HA HA I'M SO WITTY

there's nothing perfect about the human body, am i missing something?

[Kamin]

you better not visit china then

Yeah. I don't wear clothes. Rock out with my sprawling single-man wall of wang out.
