the big tarzan question


I like Tarzan. I really liked this movie. I even liked Disney's Tarzan. But in all the Tarzan movies and shows I have never figured this out.

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Why is Tarzan totally shaved like a body builder? All he has is long hair. That doesn't make any sense

If you read the original book "Tarzan of the Apes" by Edgar Rice Burroughs the question is answered. Tarzan had his father's very sharp knife that he kept honed to a razor's edge. He used this knife to "scrape" off his beard because he did not want to look like an ape. He had learned that he was a "man" fron picture books that were in the cabin his father built before he was killed by a great ape. He was an adolescent before he found the cabin and gained entry.

Isn't it true that if you never shave in your life, you would only have very short stubble rather than a full beard? It's when you shave that your beard comes on thicker every time.

thats not true

Yes, if that was true every bald man in history would shave their head for a few weeks

Not talking about hair, talking about beards.

Didn't say I was stating fact, posed as a question.

Are any of your personalities not @$$holes?

Your question was answered as 'that's not true' - I backed that up by citing that head hair, which would follow similar, if not exactly the same processes, clearly doesn't do what you questioned.

Why post any further on it? Your question was answered and you became argumentative. Your argumentative nature and the fact you circumvent a script just so you can swear at someone I'd suggest shows your nature - not mine.

No, you answer "that's not true!" like a whiny little child. You need to check your manners beyatch.

reply

Unlikely, but you may be right.

I seem to recollect it was another poster who said "that's not true!".

You could try to find out by looking at the thread in more detail. There have been times in the past that I've been wrong, but in this case I don't think I am.

Please point out my error if this is indeed true.
