The technology industry is well-known for its remarkable facial foliage - our regular columnist Seth Finkelstein is among those who fly the flag, for example.
But this weekend I came across several hundred pioneers of the art who put everybody to shame. Yes, it was the World Beard and Moustache Championship, which I managed to get down to - spotting all manner of adornments along the way.
It got me thinking, though: surely there are some technology titans who can give these bearded fellows a run for their money? Answers on a postcard, or in the comments. I'll get pictures of good suggestions and add them here.
