a new beard battle
A new beard battle is about to start. It’s The Great Beard Battle, a Hyde Park, New York beard-growing contest. These brave men are competing in a beard contest during the sweltering summer heat. Wimps, they are not. We shall see! Kudos to their fearless webmaster and good luck to all the participants!
UPDATE: The battle fizzled and the link is no longer any good. ![]()

Why do indians not have beards?

Debbie,
It’s one of the mysteries of nature. Various ethnic groups may share certain physical characteristics, one of which may be a lack of facial hair. Even among ethnic groups that do commonly develop facial hair, there is still much variation among individuals. Unfortunately, being able to grow a beard is a privilege that is not granted to all. This is a great source of frustration and anxiety to those who yearn to grow a beard and physically cannot do so.
