I start to wonder about the percentage of bearded men among POVers (and 
raytracerers in general)... it feels that it is significantly higher 
than among the general population (of whatever country, perhaps except 
Afghanistan and Pakistan), same like probably with programmers, 
astronomers and amateur electronic engineers!

So, Cracked is trying to get me to conform by telling me, essentially, that I'm
defective because of what grows naturally on me?

No, I don't have a mustache because I'm retro or a hipster.  I have one because
it grew there all by itself, and I haven't taken the active measure to get rid
of it.

My beard is just... scraggly and pathetic, so I normally just shave it off.

Shouldn't he have a mirrored bald head to go with the checkered plane?

Yes, then pose him in a The Thinker pose with a dog-tag around his neck  
with "Sphere" written on it.

Then you have a "reflecting" Sphere.
