Poor old Vlad. History has served him ill with besmirchment of biblical proportion. He was trapped between the footstools of Islam and the Hungry Ostriches of Christendom. Is it then surprising that he was apt to resort to a little benign impalement now and then?
Your post reminds me of the difficulty of explaining to some people why the Romanians consider Vlad Dracula to be a national hero. XD
It goes like this:
"Well, he defended Romania from the Muslim Turks."
"So?! He killed people!"
"That was par for the course for the time. The Turks also practiced impaling and if they'd been allowed to overrun Romania, would have killed anyone who didn't convert to Islam."
"So?!"
"So for all his faults, he had his upsides. The Romanians are grateful for what he did for them."
"HE IMPALED PEOPLE!"
*sigh*
Gwill:
Clueless drive-by...

Oh, yeah, from what I've read of old Vlad, he quite enjoyed his sports-loved watching people being impaled, made a picnic out of it, holiday pay, the whole works. Unfortunately, the people from the Inquisition were guests at these events and took detailed notes.
Vlad the partier killed thousands of people by impalement. He took his fun very seriously!

ZOMG! I thought Pescado was the only guy out there with a prehensile beard.
Clearly Weird Beard Man has a talented beard as well.
Faizah:
I know I should be looking at Weird Beard Man's beard, but, I cannot tear my eyes away from the glasses. I am not sure why.
Also, on a whim, I googled beard championships. I am pretty sure this is the same guy: http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/elmar.html
World Beard Championships. Not only do people compete at this, enough do so to justify a worldwide competition, with multiple categories.
And, further off track, are The Beards who, and I quote, only play songs about beards and having beards. Their bio is peppered with beard references. "The rhythm section of Nathaniel Beard, John Beardman and Facey McStubblington is complemented by the immensely talented frontman, Johann Beardraven." They actually sound alright, though I lack the beard required to fully appreciate their lyrics. Also, they apparently have a policy that the bearded get in free to all their gigs.
I was actually not going to post this, thought it was far too off-topic, but then 'Big Bearded Bruce' came on, on The Beards' website. "And when he walked, the beard swayed back and forth, like it had a mind of its own. And they say that he's killed a dozen men, throughout his many long years. Oh, but where does he hide the bodies? Well, they're all buried deep within his beard!" ... It goes downhill after that, though. In a face-to-beard encounter this beardless guy rips Big Bearded Bruce's beard out from the roots, and escapes with his life. All Bruce does is scream, "My beard! My precious precious beard!" Pfft.
