Bald Headed Aliens Found in Canada

Two bald headed aliens have arrived in Calgary, Alberta. These “aliens” show up between the afternoon hours of 4:30 and 6:00. They are small greenish, yellow alien beings that look a little like Yoda (in stature). They are most definitely bald.
The home owners say that they think its triggered by reflection of light from the window. That makes the most sense, considering that they disappear when the clouds roll in.
If you want to see the aliens that have invaded Canada – there is a video which can be seen here.

Image details: Woman scooping peanut butter from jar served by picapp.com
I just found out last week, that if you smear peanut butter on your hair – and keep it that way for 3 hours everyday – it will successfully prevent hairloss. Anyone out there want to try it, and get back to me….because honestly, I am much to lazy to put the effort forth. I suppose it has something to do with the oils in peanut butter. But it sounds like a big hoax to me. I couldn’t find any sources to prove the rumor.

A site that I just love love love is ehow. I love just being able to type in something that I have never tried, and finding out 10 different ways to try said activity (step by step). I try to check out a new activity everyday. Today I looked up “how to shave your own head”. Now I am not exactly ready to shave my head, and if I did – I probably would get my hairstylist to do it for me – at least the initial “cut”.
Today’s step by step process can be found in …read more

This miracle hair growth fez was profiled in the 1928 edition of Popuar Mechanics. Apparently, you only needed to wear it for 10 minutes a day for 30 days -and voila instant new hair. Isn’t it the coolest. Its just a hat. And you just wear it for 10 minutes. That’s it. If it didn’t work in 30 days, you simply told the inventor – that his fez didn’t work – and you got your money back.
Don’t you kind of wish you lived during 1928. Makes that instant hair in a …read more

Last month, the indie rock band WHY? came out with a new album titled “Alopecia”. Why would this band (WHY?) name their sophomore album a word that causes many many people such frustration. Perhaps a glimpse into Variety’s review might provide some answers.
In his album review, David Lewis states:
On “Alopecia,” Wolf and his crew have stripped away some of the pretensions while simultaneously carving out their own niche in the realm of eclectic, kitchen-sink, post-everything rock.
Keyword there is “stripped”, as in got rid of all of the unnecessary elements. Elements such as hair.
The video for “Song of …read more

Is there anyone on this planet who is somewhat connected to their computer who doesn’t know about social networking sites? I can not go anywhere without running into someone talking about Facebook, MySpace or Twitter. Now the baldies have their own networking site, at Alopecia World. It is a brand new social networking site for people with alopecia, and those who love them.
The site has only been around for a week or so, and already has 200 members. It certainly is growing fast. There are forums, and interesting articles. You can meet new people …read more
Soy Sauce Made From Human Hair?

When I was about 5 years old, I had really long hair and I thought that hair stylists were the enemy. I actually believed that. I was under the impression that they would cut all of my hair off, and sell it on the black market for purposes that hair should not be involved in. Turns out, I was not far off the mark.
There was a company that made shim shod soy sauce a few years ago that contained amino acid syrup. It should be of no surprise, that this syrup contained the hair from humans. …read more

Wacky Hair Facts

Ever heard of the composer Franz Liszt? A man so incredibly talented, that it was equaled only by his vanity. This man was treated like a rock star (before there were rock stars) in the Romantic period. I suppose, we could actually consider him to be the world’s first rock star….he was definitely idolized like one.
Anyway, so adored was Mr Liszt, that his fans would beg for locks of his hair. The demand was so great, that in order for him to keep his many fans happy (and I suspect to keep him from going bald), he would substitute …read more
