OT: Justin Beiber's Hair Saves Farm Animals

[elocomotive]

Most hilarious headline I've seen in awhile...

Devoted friend to animals Ellen DeGeneres, a former PETA Person of the Year who was instrumental in the donation of a million servings of pet food to homeless animals through the U.S. Postal Service's "Stamps to the Rescue" campaign last year, has done yet another nice thing for animals in need.

It's a strange one, and it involves Justin Bieber's hair.

Allow us to explain. After the recent premiere of his new movie "Never Say Never 3D," the teen star cut his famous hair and gave it to DeGeneres to auction on eBay, our colleagues at The Times' celebrity news blog Ministry of Gossip report. (The winning bidder, who hasn't been identified publicly, also gets to meet Bieber the next time he appears on DeGeneres' talk show.)

Bieber's hair brought in a staggering $40,668 in the auction, proceeds from which will benefit local farm-animal rescue charity the Gentle Barn. The charity, which houses more than 100 rescued farm animals at its Santa Clarita sanctuary facility, has been featured on DeGeneres' show and is a favorite charity of the comedian and her wife, Portia De Rossi.

The only thing my hair ever did was slightly reduce my chances of getting laid. Impressive, Mr. Beiber.

Imagine what a drop of his blood would get.

I hope it would get the attention of a bunch of hungry sharks as he floats in the Ocean.

An HIV positive test result???

My hair is superior to Justin Bieber's. I wonder how much money it would fetch...


Probably none.

Ideal, but sadly it will likely be taken to that secret island and replicated into more pop stars. It has been done that way for generations.

That depends. Can you sing like a girl?

This post is really funny and very concerning at the same time.

If I try really hard....


...no.


But I can sing like that sound you make by dragging your fingernails down a chalkboard. Does that work?

E=MC Scared.

E=MC Scared.

You should be.

And that equation has only come up like twice in my entire collegiate career. From my standpoint, although it's incredible important and revolutionary, it's practically useless.

Also, for the record, I'm told I have a really good voice. I just don't believe them, mostly because I've never heard it, and I feel like an idiot when I sing.

You have to give it for Canadians - if their hair can save farm animals, imagine what their brains can do.

I also heard they live for over 300 years and their poop smells like maple syrup.

They just eat a lot of pancakes, clearly.

In Toronto, it's waffles.

On a related note, yesterday was National Pancake Day. I ate my pancakes this morning. Buttermilk. Delicious.

Speaking of singing - D'stone - you mentioned a cappella awhile back? Have you been in a group or something?

Nope, no time, unfortunately. I wanted to take lessons this semester, but my schedule is just too full.

I thought the balance of the universe felt "off", that explains why I had the strange urge to shave my junk and buy 40 lbs of ground beef and a pork loin.
