"Dr. Faustroll was 63 years old when he was born in Circassia in 1898 (the 20th century was [-2] years old).
At this age, which he retained all his life, Dr. Faustroll was a man of medium height, or, to be absolutely accurate, of (8 x 10^10 + 10^9 + 4 x 10^8 + 5 x 10^6) atomic diameters; with a golden yellow skin, his face clean-shaven, apart from a few sea-green mustachios, as worn by King Saleh; the hairs of his head alternately platinum blond and jet black, an auburn ambiguity changing according to the sun's position; his eyes, two capsules of ordinary writing ink flecked with golden spermatozoa like Danzig schnapps.
He was beardless, apart from his mustachios, through the judicious use of baldness microbes which permeated his skin from the groin to the eyelashes and ate away all the follicles, without any need for Faustroll to fear that his scalp-hair or eyebrows might fall out, since these microbes attack only fresh young hairs. From his groin down to his feet, in contrast, he was sheathed in a satyric black fur, for he was man to an improper degree."
