Dearest Edward,

I wonder if there is a scientific reason for your observation that "I have found in women that I have known, the shorter their hair, the shorter their fuse in flying off the handle." Maybe there is some nutrient that is formed in the hair that has a calming effect on females.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Gray

I read of a man with long flowing hair that had the back wheels of his car jacked up and he crawled under to check a vibration and his hair got caught up in the turning drive shaft and it jerked his scalp off.

Gail, Hollywood may have pictured Jesus & Moses having long hair but I doubt that Jesus or Moses would have violated a principle in the bible. Samson had long hair but this was the exception to the rule as his parents was instructed from a heavenly being.

I may be able to help a little bit with the 'long hair of Jesus thing...

>Why are lots of pictures of Jesus portraying him with long hair?

I recently found out that our modern idea of 'short hair' and that of Our Lord's days are vastly different. Back then hair to the collar or shoulder was not 'long', but in fact short, Mans hair was only considered 'long' when it passed the centre of his back down to his buttocks. On this information, Jesus did not have long hair at all... In fact our modern haircuts of shaved heads and near shaved heads would have been considered a shame in those days by the Christians, as only the pagan religions had shaved heads in their priesthoods (eg: Ancient Egypt and Babylon).
