Nikolas Schiller gets a haircut from Jacqui Burger

Nikolas Shiller needs no introduction so I won't give him one.

Yesterday he sent me a link to a YouTube video of his recent haircut (above), writing in his email, "This morning I published a short time-lapse video of the haircut I had last [Tuesday, March 24] night. I grew my hair for over a year, so the cut was a bit drastic! I thought you might enjoy the 'mullet moment.'"

Yeah, Nick — me and about six thousand other people around the world.

Remember, when you send me something the default assumption here is that you want me to make you famous.

Well, that's not easy to do if I hide your light under a barrel, is it?

I wonder if Nick realizes that those hair clippings on the floor are solid gold, money in the bank.

Why, the 3-inch-long strand of hair pictured below,

said to be that of Che Guevara, sold at auction in 2007 for $119,000.

You could look it up.

Nick's description of his haircut on YouTube: "After growing my hair out for the last year, I decided to film the long-awaited haircut in my living room using my digital camera's time-lapse recording function. While the haircut was taking place a couple of my housemates come home and watched the haircut — unaware that there was a camera recording.
