Blocked pores such as in scarring will create thicker hairs. Anyone who has a scar has most likely noticed this. The body compensates for the ‘uncoverable portion’ by making thicker hair.

No, but I’m dang sick of getting the hair on my palms stuck in the keyboard.
To: Billthedrill
On the other hand... Perhaps I should have phrased that first part of the post a bit differently.

Not exactly. The remaining working pores grow back thicker. On a side note I have read that damage to scalp cells can instigate hair growth in men. Nothing specific, some article I can’t accurately quote. The process was clear, and it was this (scarring related). I cannot attest to the veracity of it but I did read it. Not online.

Well Viagra causes blindness but only if you use it without a partner.

Makes females grow more axillary hair, too. You can always tell a Demo girl by the braided axillary hair.

But voting for either will still cost you your freedom in the end. It’s time for the Second American Revolution and hang Washington DC for treason.

A long-held belief that reading in poor light affects eyesight was also found to be false. Opthalmologists discovered although bad light could cause temporary eye strain, it was unlikely to have long lasting effects. It can't be found false based on it being unlikely. I hate this type of finding. It is unlikely that I will win the lottery, however it is possible IF I purchase a ticket.

I have some trouble with the *low light-bad eyes* thing. Neither of my parents, and none of my siblings needed glasses until they hit middle age. I had myopia at the age of 12, and *I* think it came from reading by the street lamp while sitting in the window nook after lights out.

Neither my mother, father, sister, nor brother ever had eye troubles. It was very rare on either side of the family for anyone to wear glasses (at least below the age of 60 or so). My mom was an absolute fanatic about reading or watching TV in bad light.
