I couple months ago, I talked about balding. Today's topic is white hair. I guess white hair is better than having no hair... at least you can dye it black (or whatever your natural hair colour may be). It's scary to see people in your office the same age as you (still 26 for those counting) with hair going white. It just shows you how much pressure some of these engineers are under.

I noticed as I pointed out a white hair on B's head that it was slightly crooked, even though the rest of his hair (black) was straight. And then I thought to myself, "Self, is white hair always crooked?" I'm not sure yet. I haven't researched enough. But it seems like white hair always has a different texture. Often it's crooked, like I mentioned, more like as if it were really a pubic hair that climbed Mount Everest and turned white because of the cold.

Another question is, does white hair grow white? Or does it turn white as it dies and shivels up? I'm leaning towards the latter, but I guess I'd have to talk to my friend Google to know for sure.

Anyway, just another odd subject on my mind.
