Question out of curiosity: why do many scientists leave their hair like that. I'v noticed it many times starting with Einstein.

#5 I would guess Osmium. Or maybe Adamantium. I heard Unobtainium is pretty good too.

@1 many scientists just dont care much of how they look, their minds devoted on processing n solving all kinds of mankind problems (and get the job done to get funding :D )
