Stop Sweeping!

This may make you rethink your seemingly routine practice of sweeping around your chair following a haircut. According to the Guardian:

“A locket containing what is believed to be Jane Austen’s hair is expected to reach close to $10,000 at auction.

The lock of light-brown hair, which the auctioneers admit may never be confirmed as having come from the novelist’s head, forms part of an “in memoriam” locket, in which the strands of hair are woven into the shape of a weeping willow. The hair is also used for the lettering on a decorated gravestone on which the name Jane Austen appears.”
