    Well, if this were true, we'd now have alternative energy advocates fighting with cancer patients over this resource. Let the Hair Wars begin!

    Even as a hoax, this is infinitely more plausible than that "law of time" crap from another article.

    @Roklimber: To be fair, the "law of time" thing was intended as a joke.

    Already mentioned on Giz, pretty much shown to be a hoax in the discussion.

    @Moonlighter: none of the comments on that post show it's a hoax. there just one guy with a voltimeter hooked up to his wifes hair. hardly conclusive proof either way. granted it could still be a hoax but it's hardly be proven as such, at least not in those comments.
