Being a genius is not hard. A wild hairdo makes all of the difference. We’ll start with example numero uno, Albert Einstein. He dropped out of the equivelent of high school, according to Wikipedia (which is where all the best researchers go for information), but then again, his hair was not too crazy back then. See exhibit A:
Now, as time went by, Albert Einstein’s hair grew crazier and crazier. He eventually came up with something called the “Theory of Relativity” and “E=mc^2″. People couldn’t understand a word he said, so they deemed him as a genius. He proved them all right when he developed the A-bomb in his underground lair (but back then there were no terrorists so it was ok), but if it wasn’t for that, we would never have known if truly was a genius or not. Here is a picture from his A-bomb making days:
There are many more examples of extreme hair that led to amazing discoveries and overall greatness. Benjamin Franklin sported the most extreme example of a mullet possible. I’m sure if Stephen Hawking could style his own hair, it would be simply ridiculous. Sir Isaac Newton invented gravity so that he could wear this kick-arse wig without it floating away. For every action (having the wig) there is an equal and opposite reaction (scaring children), indeed:
I guess the way that this relates to Living Largely on the Cheap principles is thus: don’t put the cart before the horse. Don’t wait around trying to become a genius so you can get great hair. Get great hair and the genius will come. The only person who doesn’t seem to fit this would be Dennis Rodman, but you should have seen how completely idiotic he was before the hair.
