Skæg
Skæg er synlig ansigtsbehåring hos mænd og til tider hos kvinder.
Skæg forekommer i mange kulturer. Forekomsten har svinget afhængig af mode og har til tider været religiøst funderet. Til tider har personer med skæg været socialt udstødte; eksempelvis blev amerikaneren Joseph Palmer i 1830 overfaldet af fire mænd, der ville klippe skægget af ham, hvorefter Palmer endte i fængsel i fire måneder for at have forsvaret sig mod overfaldsmændene.

Sabaa Nissan Militiaman.jpg

Iraqi militiaman at Sabaa Nissan ('the 7th of April') water treatment plant in Baghdad. I managed to snap a couple of photos of this lovely old gentleman while I was touring Sabaa Nissan as part of the Human Shield Action to Iraq. The photo is amazingly detailed; you can see every separate hair on his face and my reflection in his bright eyes. I didn't get his name unfortunately because I couldn't speak enough Arabic and he had a quiet demeanor. I often wonder if he's still alive.
