Favorite neckbeards through history

^ Ned Kelly, yes, awesome! Mick Jagger as Ned Kelly? Not so much.

still some debate as to whether he was a hero or just a murderous arsehole.

It is clear by reading this thread that men who make history are all beard-wearers.
Let me add this guy, Robert James Fischer, developper of pyChess:

I am usually pro-Russian, but
1- Kasparov doesn't have a beard.
2- Fischer doesn't have a stupid anti-virus software surname.
3- Fischer kicked some nonGNU chess software's ass, unlike that Kaspersky guy, whatever his name.

Einstein stole most of his discoveries from Poincare? Difficult to tell. Let's have a beard test.



Case closed!

Victor Vasquez A.K.A. Kool A.D. is my absolute favorite neckbeard rapper, however.

Aleister Crowley's most famous pictures are completely bald. Although he is notoriously famous for being a Magus (Magician, Magickian, whatever you wanna call it), he is also famous for being a fantastic rockclimber (and if you believe him: the best). When i read his autobiography i got the feeling (and he had the same feeling himself) that his happiest moments were on mountains, climbing. In a way, while acting as a prophet for Thelema and urging people to find their True Will, he was forgetting his own True Will, which seemed to be to climb mountains.
One of the expeditions he did was to K2, i believe as (one of) the first to attempt this mountain. Obviously you cannot shave very well on a mountain, so he'd have a beard. Curious how (assuming all my ramblings are true) while exercising his True Will he has a beard, and while being a prophet he didnt.
Anyway, here is a picture of Crowley during that expedition, donning a wild mountaineer's beard.

Then there's Alan Watts, American Zen Buddhist and guruh and all that shit, and i love him very much. His beard (and hair) is very Zen.

And here is somebody curiously sharing the Watts name, while probably being totally unrelated, but who i love as well. Absurdist performer Reggie Watts, with a magnificent beard both on his chin but even more so on his head. I can only suppose his intention is for people to be able to turn his head upside down easily.

Ferdinand Thommes, the "Stallman of Siduction", and secret fan of our chaotic grill, we salute you :)

I think after going through Cream his beard is now even longer than above. ;)
