Yes, Tinpis, but if you look very very carefully at them, you will notice that the beards are straighter than those grown in warmer climes.

Something to do with less coriolis force near the poles I think. :}

They also grow slightly faster as one's mass is slightly larger closer to the poles.

tinpis... Junior was very kind hearted. I've never heard of him sacking anyone (without rehiring them the next day!) he got other people to sack staff!!!
