Many specialists have argued for decades that Aubrey's beard violates 
many known laws of man, including the Law of the Good Shave. Experts 
believe that, should Aubrey achieve immortalist escape velocity, his 
beard will consume the material of the universe -- at this rate of 
growth -- in approximately 10^6 years. A deep problem indeed.
