I was browsing through this thread whilst sitting in my recliner and my 2 year old daughter walks over to me, points at simmo's pic and says "Daddy, that man is silly. Who is that?" Then she wanted to look at all the "silly mens." Got a good laugh from me and we had a little moment looking at all you scary thugs together...which she just laughed so I think we all need to do better at being skeery lol

In 1567, Hans Steininger, the burgomaster of Braunau (then Bavaria, now Austria), died when he broke his neck by tripping over his own beard. The beard, which was 4.5 feet (1.4 m) long at the time, was usually kept rolled up in a leather pouch. --source (Beard Responsibly, my friends)
