From Arthur Robinson
I am still six months behind with New Scientist, so have just come
across a letter about Samson, presumably after his night with Delilah
(17 February, p 19).
I sometimes think the story makes sense when rephrased: some
time after Samson slept with Delilah, his hair fell out and he became weak. In
biblical times they might have interpreted this in a pre-scientific way.
