Troy Polamalu's Hair...

By
...is now worth more than almost anything most people own. Lloyds of London wrote up a policy for Troy Polamalu's recognizable mane, more than doubling the worth of his endorsement under child company Head & Shoulders shampoo.

It's definitely not the first (or last) crazy insurance policy. Everything from toenails to chest hair have been insured. Polamalu is the first NFL player to insure their hair. It's covered for the entire season. That means if he finds his hands in possession of the football, and someone decides to yank him down by those long locks and rips out a good bulk of his scalp-cover, he'll be given a hefty and healthy return on his benefits.


I'm almost intrigued to see what other oddball coverage he has on his hair, and if even trimming potential split-ends could result in personal damages and not cover his policy. Surely this story will be made into far more than it's worth (not as though it's already not worth far too much), and nothing will ever have to come up with it... but it sure is an overly interesting situation.

Tattoos And The Idiots Who Have Them

By
More and more in recent weeks, I’ve found myself entirely too devoted to bashing tattoos. I’ve got no problems with people getting tattoos, so long as they actually have some kind of meaning to the person other than “I paid for it” or “it’s on me now so that’s what it means to me” or “it looked awesome”. More and more I see people tattooing the most random things to their body, most people covering their body with the nonsense… and more and more, I’ve found myself entirely too devoted to bashing tattoos. Thank a friend via Twitter recently for showing me a picture of some idiot tattooing stars up and down the side of his face. This began my rant against face tattoos. If you’re in a profession or religion where it’s deemed appropriate, fine… tribal tattoos don’t necessarily cause this reaction for me. I also would never have the balls to call Mike Tyson a fool for tattooing his face. But if you’re just a run-of-the-mill Joe… you shouldn’t be tattooing your face with anything.

You Must Be The Greatest!

By
"The irony was not lost on me: the man my trials had molded me into, was the master I'd spent all these years trying to find. I was lost and alone, awash with despair. I sought mentorship, I sought guidance- I'd fallen to my knees and begged for it. And now, there is no other way to say it, than to say I'd been blinded by suffering; I just could not see that my many struggles had been the hands sculpting me into the guide I'd sought. Where I once sought from others their forgiveness for my failures, I now forgive myself, and seek to help other extend the same to themselves. Where I once sought from my loved ones support for my dreams, I find now that they did not extend aid because they saw who I could be, and not who I was. I am my own master. Master, and servant - I am not above humanity, nor below it. I am of it, I am it. I am all that is human: life, death, love, loss, joy, and suffering. I am all of it, and because I am all of it, I am important, and necessar
