Wow Aaron,
I never thought of my beard as property. It's just 'there', and grows
without my noticing...
What about my moustache, is it also a property, or more of an attribute?
In that they both hide the underlying monstrosity maybe they are method?
...and the object of my enquiry: could I copyright my beard do you
think, or would that be patently absurd?
