I can see teenagers doing this in 20 years…
The header reads:
"Scientists create glowing green mice
Feat could lead to gene therapy to treat baldness"
At first I though it was about fiber optic mice for computers, so I put mine on my bald spot. (
The real questions are:
1)do you want mouse hair that glows green in the dark growing out of your head?
- What if any effect will it have on my whistle playing?

1: It’s probably better than no hair at all.
2: Don’t know about that, but glowing green mouse fur might make a really unique whistle case. A low D probably wouldn’t require over a couple dozen mice.
“Scientists create glowing green mice…”
Your tax dollars at work?...
And I bet it was cats that pushed for that particular project...
Speaking of cats, I saw a great T-Shirt last night:
I LOVE CATS
They taste just like chicken.

HEY!! You’re making an improper assumption that there’s something WRONG with being bald. If you ain’t tried it, don’t knock it!

I agree w/ whitey. I went so far as to shave all of mine off. I like not having hair. but green GLOWING hair, that would be too cool. Then I could practice in the dark.
Don’t they ever think of the poor mice? They must have an awful time trying to sleep with all that glowing… __
God is good and God is fair. To some he gave brains, to others hair.
I knew a lady who lost her hair to cancer treatments and made sure to tell me that when we got our brains, God filled up any excess space in the head with hair. The earlier we go bald, she claimed, the smarter we are.
Then I knew a Greek lady who said she’d heard that if you go bald from the front to back you are a great thinker. If you go bald from the back to the front you are a great lover. If you go bald all over at the same time, you only think you are a great lover.
I’m not there yet, but at under 30, I sure have a thin covering on my scalp. I reckon my wife will love me just as much either way.

I’d hate to go bald at 17. 
Especially since I’m a girl.
Don’t worry, O brainy bald people. I’m not bald, or balding. But in the Bible we read how God feels toward those who make fun of the bald, “And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.” 2 Kings 2:23-25
But that was the Old Testament.

When a whistler plays, he stirs up the air and makes it hit any passing eardrums. But if he is good, he knows how to keep it from hurting.

God made very few perfect heads - the rest he covered with hair.
I’m also 17 and female, so I’m quite happy to be imperfect.
