   Well, imagine this christmas, difficult to imagine a better gift than a   
   golf club! ;) Imagine all the free time you would have in the house if   
   you got her hooked on golf!

   Never thought of it that way, but maybe the computer can analyse the   
   popularity of music artists compared with hair length! I do think Taylor   
   Swift (the guy who wrote the programming language, and music on top of   
   that) has pretty long hair, right, so by that standard of measurement   
   she should be pretty popular!
