Good to see the "Fact of the Day" is still continuing Rab.  I have a feeling that they still do a symbolic snipping of a bit of hair from the monks, just not the full thing.  Come to think of it, I would rate as a monk myself, but it's age and  inheritance or hormones that gave me a natural 'tonsure'!
