The Longest, Most Inconsistently-Off-Topic Thread in History

I think the problem is a developing trend of consistent inconsistency. Just when you think it'll change it does... too predictable, not at all surprising. We need to be more inconsistent with our inconsistency if there's to be any hope whatsoever of putting ourselves off the scent, so to speak.
So in answer to Jarok's question: "Did it work?"... I think it may have and that's the problem.

PS If this makes any sense whatsoever I'm sorry although I don't know why.

I agree, Big Dave, however I do feel that consistent inconsistency is something we're fully, if inconsistently, capable of.

Bill, yes, it seems the rogue hairs (as I like to call them) start most often during the late thirties, and influence their brethren from thence forward.

Bird feeding maniac update:
The idiot's now getting lazy (after 2 and a half years!).
He's throwing unopened bread packets onto the lawn and letting the birds open 'em!
The packets are blowing into our (all the neighbours') yards.

Interesting fact: We've all learned in my street to run for cover when the flocks of birds pass overhead.
One can see their pee spraying in their wake, along with poop and bread scraps.
My neighbour said she's had to clean much soggy bread off her windows due to the trajectory of said substance when released at speed.
Oh, and this applies to the other goodies they release as well; kinda like dam busters, but with more deadly poomunition.

What happens when the long stretched fractal breaks off?

Not sure the supposition of the question is fractual, burn 'em.

DP could swoop in on the ethereal breeze and all would be well... for a time.

The Julia set fractal.
z(0) = pixel;
z(n+1) = z(n)2 + c.
Real and imaginary parts of c give the different sets.

As you get old and bald the hair just moves to you back so you have not lost any.

No- But how about an albino hair growing all over the face.
