North Korean state TV is showing a five part series called "Let's trim our hair in accordance with the socialist lifestyle" which includes assertions that
long hair is unhealthy and adversely affects "human intelligence development"andexcessive hair growth "consumes a great deal of nutrition", thereby sapping the brain's energy.

Hmm. I hadn't realized that my flowing locks gave me (or perhaps just North Koreans?) super-strength, just like Samson. Of course, since the total of one's stat scores can't exceed 53 even with the Gifted and Small Frame attributes, naturally a bonus in the strength and endurance stats would decrease one's intelligence and perception.

Or maybe there was an error in translation and they really meant "brain slugs" instead of hair?

Well, whatever. At least here in America we don't have to worry about our administration endorsing any faith-based bullsh-. D'oh!
