Fixed that for you. ;>
Back on topic -- it's not actually surprising that this happens. Shared mildly traumatic experiences, especially ones where there is a visible common enemy, are an excellent way to unite people. That's why the military shaves your head and your DI is a hardcase. It's also why co-founders either founder or become really, really good friends. Even if the startup fails, that friendship may have been worth it.
- forgottenpaswrd 16y agoI agree with you with the fix, but saying that's the primary reason for the military to shave your head... I don't think so, military shaves heads because long hair brings you a lot of problems in war. From hair in your wounds that will bring infection(the reason pro cyclist shave), to all kinds of parasites that attach to hair in non first world countries, to the time it takes to clean it to be presentable, to making people look different(that's the reason of uniforms too, everybody feels part of the same whole). Hair is a status symbol too.
