Relax. This may help. Caffeine prevents hair loss, claim Treating hair with caffeine products can stop men from going bald, according to a new German study. Professor Peter Elsner, part of the team at the Jena University, said that the stimulant has the most effect on men whose hair roots were very sensitive to testosterone, one of the causes of hair loss. But the research does not mean that coffee drinkers will be spared a bald head in later life, only those who smear it directly on their heads. Adolf Klenk of Kurt Wolff cosmetic research said: "One would have to drink between 60 and 80 cups of coffee a day for the necessary amount of caffeine to reach the roots." He said that men who are frightened that they may lose their hair should start treating their scalps with caffeine while they are still young. ananova.com Mikey Rat

Time out! Good banter, but don't lower your standards. You are several levels above most of the people in SI threads.

Can we fight terrorism constructively? _________________________________________ By RICK STEVES SPECIAL TO THE SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER Saturday, December 4, 2004 [Editor's note: Filling in for David Horsey this week is Rick Steves, author of the "Europe Through the Back Door" books and host of the popular public television travel program, "Rick Steves' Europe."] seattlepi.nwsource.com <<...A billion Muslims throughout the world have three serious concerns: Palestine needs security and self-respect; they want the American military out of Islam; and they want control of their natural resources (to charge whatever they like for their oil). These are three basic foreign policy questions that any U.S. president could address without compromising the security and interests of America or Israel. The United States' overwhelming global dominance is unprecedented in human history. Many Muslims fear the Americanization of their culture. In addition, the United States declares natural resources (such as oil) in Muslim countries "vital to its national security." And our immense military -- as big as the rest of the world's combined and unfightable by means other than terrorism --defends U.S. access to markets and natural resources throughout the globe. It's clear that maintaining our dominance by force is costly in civil liberties, our moral standing in the world, tax dollars and human lives. So my Burning Question is: Could we more effectively fight terrorism by understanding what motivates it and then taking away the source of the anger? Wouldn't it be cheaper and wiser to just face our enemy, ask "Why?" and respond constructively?...>>
