 >The reason monks shaved their heads dated back to Jewish custom. 
 
Jewish custom?  Didn't these dudes predate them by a few thousand 
years or so?   I think the  Eastern connection is  from Abraham's wife 
Katarah (After Sarah died of a broken heart..  while thinking that he 
was going off to sacrifice Isaac.)  Katarah had  6 sons..  who "went off to 
live in the East"...  according to Jasher.. or somewhere I read that. 
 
> It had to do with humility.  Remember when Paul shaved his head? 
 
Oh, I missed that shaving thing..  somehow.  Interesting.  However 
I do have a little bald spot on the back..  and it does make me more 
humble.. a little bit. 
 
So.. i can understand that little black hat thingy.. to cover that spot. 
But then.. the Jewish grow a beard..(if married)  and then  part it to 
show if they were married(2) again.   ( but i grew my beard when my 
wife left )    http://FinePoetry.com/johncool.jpg   (coyote ugly) 
 
>It had to do with becoming an anonymous person. 
 
Oh yeah  him!  Anonymous.   He is cool.  He also wrote some 
awesome poetry. 
 
>Hair is a value thing.  Ever have a bad hair day when you've got a big 
sales presentation?  You don't feel so good.  We value ourselves, many 
times, according to our hair, how it looks, how much we have. 
 
Yeah..  I can relate.. i think?  I look like the mad scientist 
like I stuck my finger in the light socket .. when I get up in 
the morning.    But i thought the sales presentation flopped 
because I wasn't wearing my red power shorts. 
I should have known though..  that it was my bad hair. 
 
The difference between sight and vision 
is as clear as day and night. 
When the wife goes to bed..  she's a vision. 
and when she wakes up.. she's a sight. 
 
>I'm not going near the genitals in a jar... 
 
Me neither...  *crosses legs instinctively*
