I just realized that the tracking god I had in mind all along was another hyphenated Rhodesian: David Scott-Donelan. My mistake.

Mystical mumbo jumbo

The average Indian I've known couldn't track his way out of a crowded bar.

Light another match.  Stick your nose right over the flame and sniff.  What's it smell like?

Dude, you smelled the smoke, not the fire.  

Try this:

Light a match.  Now blow it out.  Smell the smoke?

I think Sally's husband wanted to grow his hair long, spent a lunch hour creating a phony document, and then showed it to his gullible wife.

To do: generate phony document that proves the more guns a man owns, the more often his wife reaches orgasm.

Quoted:
Ask yourself this - is your wife/girlfriend more aware of her surroundings or are you?

My wife, long hair and all, wouldn't notice if Bin Laden and zombie Hitler were running down the street at us with machetes while screaming "Death to America."

Myth.

Very interesting. I would think having long hair would interfere (as it does) with hearing.

...
[/div][div]When questioned about their failure to perform as expected, the older recruits replied consistantly that when they received their required military haircuts, they could no longer 'sense' the enemy, they could no longer access a 'sixth sense' , their 'intuition' no longer was reliable, they couldn't 'read' subtle signs as well or access subtle extrasensory information. [/div][div]
[/div][div]So the testing institute recruited more indian trackers, let them keep their long hair, and tested them in multiple areas. Then they would pair two men together who had received the same scores on all the tests. They would let one man in the pair keep his hair long, and gave the other man a military haircut. Then the two men retook the tests. [/div][div]
[/div][div]Time after time the man with long hair kept making high scores. Time after time, the man with the short hair failed the tests in which he had previously scored high scores. [/div][div]
[/div][div]Here is a typical test: [/div][div]
[/div][div]The recruit is sleeping out in the woods. An armed 'enemy' approaches the sleeping man. The long haired man is awakened out of his sleep by a strong sense of danger and gets away long before the enemy is close, long before any sounds from the approaching enemy are audible. [/div][div]
[/div][div]In another version of this test the long haired man senses an approach and somehow intuits that the enemy will perform a physical attack. He follows his 'sixth sense' and stays still, pretending to be sleeping, but quickly grabs the attacker and 'kills' him as the attacker reaches down to strangle him. [/div][div]
[/div][div]This same man, after having passed these and other tests, then received a military haircut and consistantly failed these tests, and many other tests that he had previously passed. [/div][div]
[/div][div]So the document recommended that all Indian trackers be exempt from military haircuts. In fact, it required that trackers keep their hair long. " [/div][div]
