You go bald, you going to die!

As a baldy I was slightly disturbed to hear today at work that Baldness has been linked to heart disease. Very worrying, jokes aside.
Sounds like my time might be up before too long, started going bald in early 20's and now 41, bald as a coot.

My commiserations. I've already got heart disease, but at least I've got a full head of hair

Well that just gives me all the more reason to do what I want, when I want, how I want. Life on the edge is more fun.

Nature calls us all back home, bald or not. Don't worry about it.

Pff... I have been bald since my early 20's. I welcome death.

I get healthier if I do a combover, right?

Have to crash the party and scream "I currently still have a full head of hair and have had no heart problems at the grand old age of 38 and three and a bit months!!!".

I'll probably have a heart attack and die tomoz, don't you know, tempting fate like that?

Hmm.. checked on the latest baldy science news and found lots of interesting articles about 'Bimatoprost' an eye drop that has had an interesting side effect in causing eye lashes to grow longer:

A glaucoma eye-droplet may do for hair what Viagra does for many men: help them grow what they once could but currently cannot. A recent paper has scientists eyeing the already approved drug bimatoprost as a new treatment for male-pattern baldness. Similarly to the discovery of the little blue pill?s, ahem, enhancing effects, bimatoprost?s restorative properties were discovered by accident. Glaucoma patients had fuller, longer and thicker eyelashes as a side effect of using bimatoprost droplets. Naturally, the cosmetic industry took note and in 2008 the FDA approved it for additional use as pharmaceutical mascara. But now scientists have shown that it works for hairs on the head ? at least in mice and petri dishes. Researchers from the U.S. and the U.K. tested whether the drug would work on the scalp, using hair follicles in a lab culture and bald spots on the heads of living mice. Both cases showed that scalp follicles grew hair when treated with bimatoprost. The study also identified that the drug works through hormone receptors in the follicle.

^You reckon you could smear it on your face and end up like those werewolf boys, or smear it all over and end up like Stephen King in Creepshow?

Seems to work for Hugh Jackman.

This year I celebrate 10 years as bald, saved me nothing but trouble (EVERY day is "bad" hair day) and money (going to the barber and hair products no more!)

How do you give a mouse a bald spot? Shave its head? Pluck it? Rub it for hours on end? I have to know.
