Stone cold fact. 3 x physics teachers at Trinity, each and every one had a beard. Lotty Johns was quite neat and grey, bit like John Peels. King John Kerman had a similar style beard in a more traditional chestnut brown colour with a pudding basin haircut. This complimented the medieval look marvellously, hence his nickname. Head of physics ' Crooky ' had the best beard by a country mile. The mad bastard looked like a cross between Robinson Crusoe and The Lord Jesus himself. See the correlation? Bigger the beard = brainier the scientist.
it's hirsuteness in general. you can't pin it down to just beards though cause this crazy haired fella from my youth was a frickin scientific genius!! a proper boffin! HEINZ WOLFF!
Sometimes this board does my ****ing head in and is largely populated by massive ****ers. But now and again, such as this particular thread, it is bloody tremendous.
My Science teacher at Endike, Mr Hewson, looked like Vincent Price. Scary as ****, he had a goatee too. I firmly believe, looking back on it now, that Mr Abraham (full beard) bunsened his side bits off on a regular basis.
The beard corulation to brainyness could be valid. Jack Hargreaves when presenting "How" knew his **** when it came to science stuff..
There are exceptions to every rule though. My science teacher at South Holderness was bald as a coot and had no face fungus whatsoever. He gave me a bollocking in first year (of old money, not in primary school terms) because I came second in the whole year in a science exam. He told me off for being beaten by a girl. When I moved to Beverley Grammar I was then taught by a guy who looked like the dwarf from Lord of the Rings (Gimle?). I think he's headmaster now.
It's not confined to male scientists as Judith Hann from Tomorrow's World had a lovely furry down on her face.
That makes sense. My three science teachers were all from the Karl Pilkington school of thought, and looking back that may have been because not one of them had a single hair on their chinny-chin-chin. In fact, the only one with any semblance of facial fungus was supposedly a woman. We were never so sure, as she had a very square jaw but we students also found what appeared to be a love egg in her draw.
My science teacher only had a bit of a beared on the amount of chins that was there i think her name was Dr mimack or something like that t was rather impressive for a "female" though although still have my doubts she was!?!
I've never seen a decent beard on a Chinese fella. They're always whispy and ****e like Mr Miyagi's. Read into that what you will.
that Japanese mentalist cult leader Shoko Asahara had a pretty tasty beard, does that count as Chinese?
