do you have any citations of animals with glowing hair? I'd be interested to see that - i was under the impression proteins would be somewhat dysfunctional in the non-aqueous environment that is dead cells that make up our hair and therefore hair couldn't be caused to glow.

But i might just be horribly wrong.
