I've missed so much...

Happy 3 years of bearding...so awesome!

Thank you for all your kind words to me and to all the other members on this board. Most everybody's first dealings with a moderator seem to be you and that is a GREAT thing. Anyways, I'm back from hibernation

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)
