Teenager invents Solar panel made from human hair.
"A new type of solar panel using human hair could provide the world with cheap, green electricity, believes its teenage inventor.
Milan Karki, 18, who comes from a village in rural Nepal, believes he has found the solution to the developing world's energy needs.
The young inventor says hair is easy to use as a conductor in solar panels and could revolutionise renewable energy."

1. Oh fuck me!
It wasn't bad enough when Glenn Beck and his "we surround you" zombies came for me, or when all the Obamabots, hypnotized by the One's unfiltered patter to our children, invaded my city, now I'm going to have bald people chasing me down for my precious, precious follicles.

Aaaaahhhh!

2. This is obviously a ploy...
...by the non-balding segment of the world to keep us balding folk down!

3. "Power started dropping dramatically at one point... then Milan noticed some lice on the panel"
he said, "there are still a few bugs to work out."

7. That's nothing.
I achieved cold-fusion with a Diet-Mountain Dew, a 9-volt battery, three paper clips and some Mentos.:)
