How Hair Can be Used To Track Where You've Been 133
First time accepted submitter kandelar writes "PBS recently ran a story about how some scientists are using human hair to trace where a person has been. The combinations of different isotopes in water make for somewhat unique signatures from place to place. These isotopes get placed in growing hair strands which can then be traced back to identify where a person has been."

Red headed girl who was able to accurately identify where her boyfriend has been when she discovered a blond pubic hair in his briefs... he wasn't blond. I believe this technology has been around for a while now.

That's right Sweety, I was just being a gentleman... I was driving home and bam there she was running down the street with her pants on fire, so I stopped the car, ran out, and patted her out then gallantly offered her my briefs. She looked cold! I asked her if she needed to go to the hospital, and she said no, just home, so I took her home, and got my briefs back, and that's how the pubic hair got there. I guess I'm just a Boy Scout at heart!
Unless there's a kinky thief going around borrowing people's panties, you gotta tap dance real hard to keep from catching a frying pan with your face
