Some people mistakenly believe that The Bearded Man has never been injured, due to his near immediate reaction time and perfect situational awareness. He was, however, injured exactly one time in his life. While sunning in Queensland with a close personal friend on the back of his jet ski, he witnessed the unthinkable: He looked up and noticed the largest human waterski pyramid heíd ever seen, with none other than Pope John Paul II on top. Flabbergasted, he reached for his sunglasses -- his pinky nail caught a hair of beard, separating it from his weathered face. So doing, a single drop of blood fell into the water, forming what is now known as the Great Barrier Reef. Matt Meler watched the whole thing happen, and he was inspired to write Up On You because of it.
