Look out, Ms. Salzman. Maybe the metrosexual trend isn’t so new after all. Reuters reports that a prehistoric man discovered in a Irish peat bog used hair gel that an archeologist concludes was a resin substance imported from France. It’s unclear if the man was an ancestor of either David Beckham or Richard Kirshenbaum. In any case, even for his day (roughly 2,300 years ago) the man was fairly short, at 5-foot-2. It’s believed he used the gel in an attempt to make himself look taller.
