(Just between you and me, I am dangerously close to needing one, perhaps by the time I am your age.)

Having hair is totally overrated, j2.

I have noticed that as my hair disappears my top speed has increased.
Better aerodynamics, I assume.

Really?

Hope my legs heal up quick then.

I wanna try it out.

I haven&#39;t done speed in years.

You&#39;ll notice that, as an American, I was more interested in my increased speed.

Were I greener (read: culturally superior European), I would have noted that my fuel economy had improved.

Such are our differences.

I thought you meant insofar as it applied to self-propulsion (running, cycling, rowing, etc.).

Of course, on that basis, better fuel economy might well be assumed: If, prior to hair loss, one Big Mac will fuel a burst of, say 15 MPH, and post hair-loss, a Big Mac netted 17 MPH, a net gain in fuel economy has also occurred.

If you were a "culturally superior European", I would assume that, instead of Big Macs, we&#39;d be basing our calculations on the intake of, say, snails, or possibly eggplant, fish and chips, or some such.
