They say that timing is everything in Life. That, and variety is the Spice of Life. All this time, I thought it was pepper!
Here is this week's question:
ANSWER:
Ok, so from now on, these will be known as the Plausible Thinking Questions. $8-)
There were a lot of good answers for this one, which is good because I really needed the pick-me-up this week.
Vampyre Lestat said "the hair on your (and my) head takes a lot more dead proteins to produce." That was just a comment, because he was still pondering the question at the time.
Jamie said it was because "the hair on a man's head is exposed to more envirnomental stress such as extreme weather changes, daily scrubbing and combing, hairdryers, hats, and the ever famous being dunked in the toilet bowl in the good ole university days!"
Lee said hair on the head "gets more sunlight that the 'stache, thus being bleached faster, assuming, of course you don't wear a hat."
oddlystrange said the age difference "also explains why a man's head will go bald before his face. And why babies with mustaches look terribly bizarre, unless they're in an Addams Family movie."
Woody commented that he has "not met any man with mustache before his hair starts to grow." I guess he hasn't seen the Addams Family movies that oddlystrange has!
As for the Biologically Correctness* issue, Liz pointed out that "the
hair on your face does not grow until the dreaded puberty hormones kick in,
sooner for some than others."
* First there was Anatomically Correct dolls, then the evil PC movement,
and now this? What's next? I shudder to think about it!
As for my Poor Grey Head, it's not prematurely grey! It's Hereditary Early Greyness! With an addition of uncontrollable stress, and possibly some presents from Orson. Is it snowing inside?
