] Snip from a BBC News story on the campaign: "It stressed
] the 'negative effects' of long hair on 'human
] intelligence development,' noting that long hair
] 'consumes a great deal of nutrition' and could thus rob
] the brain of energy." [ Sounds like a hoax to me, but maybe it's just irrational enough to be true. -k] |
