Baldness and cancer

Poor Will.i.am Hague and Ian Duncan Smith. Not only do they have to cope with the ever present danger of a Lammergeier mistaking their bald head for rocks and dropping a tortoise on them, but now a new threat has emerged to worry them.
Researchers at the University of Toronto, have discovered that men who have gone bald early, can be up to twice as likely to get prostrate cancer, than other more hirsute males.
They could try having their bald heads tattooed with a drawing of a full head of hair, like the bass guitarist in the rock band Split Enz, is amusingly alleged to have done after shaving his head in the 1970's. It may work and if they are desperate, may consider giving it a go.
It may fool the researchers, but it won't fool the Lammergeiers for a moment.
