kool reply — speaking of antennas

i remember a pal i had back in virginia — a sikh who was the city planner of our town — whom i went to see once in the hospital. he didn't have his turban on or his beard contained, as many sikhs in public life do, in a net. somehow it was beautiful to see him that way — with his top knot and beard.

found this, new-to-me info on the subject:
God did not add anything, including hair, to the human body which could be termed as superfluous. This blunder of cutting and disowning hair has not been made by man since the times of Adam, but ... has been in practice only for a few centuries. The Industrial Revolution ... lack of security measures in the factories led to several fatal accidents caused by long hair. To avoid such accidents, the workers started trimming ... their long hair. Consequently, the number of people with long hair — like that of Shakespeare — decreased and, with the passage of time, such a breed became almost extinct.

There has been a lot of ... research on the hair ... to ascertain the benefits of keeping hair.... The research has highlighted the fact that the hair serves as a factory providing Vitamin D for the body. As against ... developed and affluent nations [who have resorted to synthetic D], the poor countries can easily get precious Vitamin D for their children free from the open Sun through their long hair. The research has also revealed that longer the hair the more will be the production of Vitamin D through the interaction of Sun heat with the oil in the hair. It has also been proved on the basis of experiments that the hair tied in the form of a knot on the top of the head is capable of attracting the maximum heat energy of Sun just as the television antenna has the capacity to hold photo waves from the atmosphere. (According to Tessitas, the ancient Germans also used to tie their long hair into a knot on the top of their heads.)

also emphasizes your practice of clay hair care to preserve the natural oils.

you'll love this pic (yes, it's a top knot, not a hat, researchers have concluded):

that'll pick up a lot of sun power!
