Astronuc said:I'd like to be able to tuck it into my belt, like the dwarves do in LOTR, but I don't think it will ever be that long.Nevertheless, I'll keep trying.
Well that all depends on how high your belt is! If you've heard of Patrick Moore or ever seen him, I suspect if you took on board his fashion sense you'd be able to get your beard down there next week!

Here I am snorkling in Cozumel, Mexico. It wasn't until much later that I found out I was supposed to put my face into the water and open my eyes.

I am similarly afflicted in water due to all the horrible animals you can't see and the fact I sink like a stone rather than float like most people. Although where you were not being able to see animals would be the least of the problems! Looks lovely

Tom Mattson said:OK, I can't hold out anymore. The first one is me doing my "Paulie Walnuts" routine inbetween rounds of a game of shuffleboard. The second one is me and *melinda* (yes, she gave me permission to post it).
I didn't know mathematicians could be that cute...

It's worse than that. I had more than 2900 posts in PF v2.0, before all our post counts were reset to zero.

Well, you handsome devil, no wonder you've been keeping your identity a secret! You must have known that none of the female members here would ever be able to do anything but sit and drool over your photo once it was posted! No wonder women struggle in math classes...who could concentrate with such a cute calculus professor?! :!)

My hair doesn't usually look like that. I hadn't had a haircut in way too long, hence the moptop. I usually keep it high and tight.
Here is a more recent pic as promised. To redress the simpsons comment maybe some people might like to say I look like Otto the school bus driver.
ARRRGHH! Damn you for beating me to the "Otto" wisecrack!
