Why does my hair go curly when it rains?

Put some trousers on you perve....

Just thought I'd ask...

You've been eating your greens?

Isn't that crusts?

What about the 40,000,000 unborn Americans murdered by abortion?

Damn! Sorry about that...

Here we go....

"Hair is primarily composed of keratin, a protein, which grows from a sac called the follicle. Cells in the hair follicle generate keratin, and various other proteins, which become a part of the hair shaft. These proteins contain sulfur atoms, and when two of these sulfur atoms pair up and bond, they form a disulfide bond. If the two sulfur atoms in the same protein are at a distance, and join to form the disulfide bond, the protein will bend.

The amount of humidity in the air not only makes for what some label a "bad hair day," but alters the degree of curliness or of straightness of hair. This occurs when high humidity forces water back into the hair fiber, acts on its protein structure, and forces the hair shaft to return to its original structure."

Bugger. There's not much protein in veggies so there goes my idea....

I'm sure all of them would have liked the opportunity to have their hair curl up in the rain.

I'll bet you're pro-abortion Deane.

Thank your lucky stars your mum wasn't...

Oh really?

So, I take it there are only two positions with regards to abortion then; pro-abortion or anti-abortion?

Well, I'm neither, joe90.

Because you are worth it.

I'm intrigued. In all honesty would have thought it would be a difficult topic to fence-sit on.

No fence-sitting here joe90 (Farmer Giles would prefer I didn't sit on fences...)

Seriously, I have a slightly more complex view than most christians can manage...

And apparently a serious talent for patronising people.

C'mon Deane, that's no way to debate a topic.

See you over at the abortion thread...

What the fuck is that if it isn't patronising?

You are a christian, aren't you? And your religion encourages black-and-white viewpoints, doesn't it?

You mean this bit?

Well I was making an assumption about you being pro-abortion - I admit it was wrong. But the above isn't an attempt at being patronising - it's a suggestion. I think people who are pro-abortion only have the opportunity to be so because their Mum wasn't.

It's quite ironic.

I'd say that until the recent secularisation of society in the past 100 or so years, most of the world's geniuses would have claimed religion of some sort.
Therefore suggesting christians can't 'manage anything else' but a simple viewpoint is a tad patronising.

Oh, I'll readily admit that christianity has a long history of deep thinkers - Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin are just a few that spring to mind.

But this depth is not very evident in the church today.

What I ought to have said first is what I said second - that christianity seldom posits anything but two choices for its followers; our way or the highway. "If you are not for us then you are against us"...etc - Dualism. Very boring.

Agreed - but that's ORGANISED religion and not one of them is trustworthy.

No depth, absolutely - it IS the Laodicean age. God spews them out of His mouth.

Ummm, you seem to be implying that unorganised religion is trustworthy...

Oh dear. You're a pentacostalist, aren't you?

'Pentacostal' is the term.

No I'm not.

You might not think any form of religion is trustworthy, but I assure you organised religion DEFINITELY isn't.

He only asked why his hair went curly in the rain. What did he do to deserve this?

Doesn't matter. He goes on the rack anyway!

Ah-ha, nobody expects that!

You shouldn't have gone and got it permed if your hair is fine.

My hair has always been wavy.

Just gets very curly when it rains.

Its not a perm.
