After having cut off a foot or more of hair last week, I expected to lose a pound or so. Instead, when I weighed in Monday, I found I'd gained two pounds. This obviously was not because of the wine I drank nightly at the fly fishing festival over the weekend. There must be some other cause. Hmm...
Well, there are two things I can think of that are lighter than air: Helium (He) and Hydrogen (H). Mix hydrogen with air using the following formula:
Hydrogen (H) + Air = Hair
Eureka! Hair must be lighter than air, so by removing hair I lost its natural buoyancy!
Perhaps if I'd come up with this insight in college chemistry I'd have passed the course the first time through. Lots of professors give credit for theories that make them laugh uncontrollably. They have to.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
