Suntan

Who here tans? uses fake tan? Sunburns?

I sunburn lightly, then get a good tan. If I sunburn bad I'm unlikely to get a good tan.

I have pale-ish skin otherwise but I tan naturally (my exposed skin is tan). I don't really burn except perhaps on the shoulders.

Your skin certainly looks pale in your photograph.

I have red hair. No more needs be said on the subject.

You must melt.

Panda! You're back! What happened there then?

With regards to tans, my advice is to build up gently.

I used to live in the Middle East where the summer temperatures regularly exceeded 40 degrees C and there was no rain for months but I never once used sun block.

However, because I resisted the temptation to spend hours lying by the pool every day, I never got burned and gradually got tanned instead, so that after a couple of months I was darker than most of the locals!

Of course, in Britain, we only get a week or so of sunny weather every year so this is not really an issue here.

I dwell in the basement. Thus, I can tan, burn, or both, but avoid all of the above. The last tan-burn set I had was somewhere from 8-11 years ago.

I had a nice tan last time I was down in Costa Rica. I don't seem to burn easily, despite my pale skin.

Well, I sort of slagged Dat's bird, and got banned, and I'm back now.

Anyway, I guess my excessive tan sessions in our Heat-waves this week weren't too smart.

I am naturally tan, and I tan very easily... I don't sunburn, either.

Which photograph? My profile pic (Milton Fridman) or the ones in my almubs?

Gingers are never tan. They only burn, and they're very pale.

Milton looks frail and pale. You look suspect able to tan, however. Btw, I like the man-stache.

It is clearly the lack of soul.

It has sinse been shaved. It's rather annoying. I'll grow it out when my beard comes in.

Shaving is brilliant isn't it. I would say I'm less than 10 shaves from the comings of a beard.

Doubt it. Make a plot of

y=sqrt(x)

Where 'y' is the amount of hair and 'x' is time. It may see like it's coming in fast at first, and could be a linear graph, but over time it begins to top off never reaching a thick full face of hair. Eventually it will, but it takes longer than expected. Plus going outside in the mid stages sucks because you look like a hobo.

I'll add the variants of hormones and a soul to your equation.
