My brother visited me this weekend, and while he was here I noticed a disturbing lack of hair on the top of his head. In fact, he kind of has like a blond spot on top combined with thicker, darker patches on the side, giving him a semi-unique look.
One of these guys is my brother
Now, obviously I’m not one to talk when it comes to baldness. But really, I see myself every day, so I don’t think much about my own baldness. This, of course, led to this picture:
Who's the baldest?
So I ask you, who has the most to worry about here?
The case against Nathan:
- He is 5 years younger, and thus *should* have more hair.
- His hair is longer, and thus doesn’t look as bald in the picture as it really is.
- His hair is generally lighter, and his skin is generally darker, so the bald patches don’t show up as much.
- His baldness is more diffuse, like a general thinning, instead of discreet and more drastic patches of baldness.
The case against Shane:
- Look at that picture, my goodness.
- There is an actual reflection on the top of his head from the flash.
- His forehead (five-head) starts way over the dome of his head, half-way to his ears.
So, there you have it. Speak now or forever hold your peace:
Shane Halbach 
I remember you graduation party Shane, where you went up against two cousins (Ryan and myself). I’ll always be younger, but still have less hair. My dad always said he had a full head of hair until he had kids, that can be your excuse too. I can’t use that one though……………..

There’s a third, much-balder head in that photo. I resent the fact that I can’t vote for Oliver.

I explicitly left Oliver out of the voting, because then everybody would vote for him, and this would no longer be a carefully controlled, scientific poll.

I have to admit, I’m surprised at how close this was. I thought people would (unfairly) vote for me, and I’d win in a landslide. In fact, it has been neck and neck! Only 3 votes separate us at the moment!
