Hopefully that's a no!
Yes that's a no lol. But I think natural aging is very beautiful in people, including graying hair.
People say my hair is looking like George Clooney's.
Mother nature at work! A beautiful thing! (:

Wait til you get the silvery stuff, lol.
I don't have grey hair, yet.
Why can't you memorize how your opponent plays?
I don't have grey hair, yet.
You must be under 40 then?
@ Winer: That will remain unknown. But, I have a grandfather who didn't grey until after 50 and a great-grandmother who had only a few grey hairs at the age of 60 (only about 10% or her hair was grey at the age of 86).
That's amazing, I had grey in my late twenties and that stuff doesn't go away.
Some "scene" hairstyles are gray! Meaning some people dye their hair gray/silver to achieve a certain look. I'm not sure what look they're going for though. The scene style is quite creative...
Graying is caused by a deficiency of melanin to the hair follicles, which decreases over time. The time when hair follicles lose their melanin differs from person to person, and depends on genetics, heredity, and care.
Not bad for an aviation enthusiast ;)

I like your about me section! Here's (what I think is) a B-2 Stealth Bomber plane. I don't necessarily support bombing... but it's a cool looking plane! It would slice right through the air. When I searched for the image on Google, apparently Ebay thought I wanted to purchase one of these. (Uh... no.)
Thanks Google Images for the smile! 
This might be particularly relevant for chess.com users, given the fact that we're an online community here:

Purchase a B-2 Spirit? It costs the USAF $4,000,000,000 USD to build one. Fun Fact: They have their engines buried in the blended wing configuration to reduce heat siganture. Their radar signature is approximately the size of a baseball. Also, they only go about as fast as your average 747, as opposed to the supersonic speed capability of an F-22 that some believe it to possess.

I'd be the first to admit that the B-2 visually looks awesome. But a few things concern me. It makes me sad to think where all of that funding (or even just half of it! A quarter!) could go to instead. How many people have the knowledge to fly this, then how many people are actually granted permission to fly it? What tiny fractions of percentages would we see? There seems to be a void to a definitive cost and benefit relationship of funding such things like this.
May I also add that the F-35 can accomplish much that the B-2 can at lower costs and much, much higher speeds, once Lockheed Martin fixes the fan discs.
I used to play Crimson Skies (2002) on Xbox. You could fly a few different planes. It was kinda fun except I didn't really have anyone to play it with, so I was always playing the "CPU." lol
What kinds of planes were available?
Are any of you familiar with the F-19 stealth fighter from the 1980's?
If I'm not mistaken, it was the fighter the USAF developed as a means of supplying false info to hostile countries. The secrets of this new stealth fighter were purposefully leaked to mislead others in their developement of stealth technology, since the F-19 was not actually stealth and did not even fly. I am pretty sure the F-19 was the one used for this.
Here's another one. Does anyone here know how old stealth technology really is? Take a guess. Then highlight the text below to see the answer.
In WWII (that's right, World War II), radically new aircraft designs were experimented with and commonly called "Flying Wings."
Flying wings, also known as "blended wings" or "tailless aircraft" were indeed tested as means of evading the then-crude radar. The only problem was their handling difficulty and inherent impaired stability caused by the lack of a vertical stabilizer. For those who don't know what a flying wing is, follow this link to a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark (warning: dude + prop + viewer with weak stomach = vomit).

I will get back to you in a few on the specific planes when I can get my hands on Crimson Skies.
Bought 6 USCF pens for $26. How ridiculous am I? Who pays that much for some pens? lol. You're basically just paying for the shipping. Whatever, no regrets! I'm gonna give them away to a few people who help organize Chess Club, and I'll keep one for myself of course (-;
^USCF Sales
I bought a chess book there for $4.68 plus $5.17 for shipping. I used one of their random discount codes and saved 47 cents. So I paid $9.38 in total. That's pretty good compared to the 25 dollars you would have to pay at any regular bookstore. Also, "Who would spend their money on chess books. Chess is boring." is definitely something a non chesser would say
The shipping is insane. It's more expensive than the listed price itself (so I must be insane for paying it), but how else is someone supposed to buy those awesome pens?! They don't have a physical store, it's just USCF Sales Online, unless I'm unaware of a hidden store! Oh I'm yap-yap-yapping away here. lol. Though it sounds like you got an awesome deal. Nice work! I like the total price break down you did there, lol.
