The beard force is strong with you, Troy. Seriously epic pictures. You guys with these crazy dense mustaches blow my mind! If you've got it, flaunt it! And I thin your cat is a genius...you may be sitting on a gold mine...

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)
