It is not the amount that counts, it's whether it is *enlightened*
hair. Ordinary hair is of no consequence whatsoever.

I am rather shocked that you didn't realise this, Steve.

Anyway, the sign of a Bhudda - the next will be the 29th - has nothing
to do with chest hair. Or any other form of physical manifestation.
Golden thighs, virgin mothers - all are irrelevent. It is not a matter
of being *born* a Bhudda - it is attaining Bhudda-hood during one's
lifetime.

The swastika pattern in chest hair is actually a sign of immortality
amongst the Hoop Snake tribe of Australian Aborigines.

TTYL,
