For the next four weeks (potentially longer depending on how awesome I look) I will subject myself to public humiliation and private doubt by growing what will no-doubt be a ridiculous-looking Mustache, all in the name of science... And charity. To justify this endeavor, I need your support. Please sponsor my 'stache by choosing a classroom project below and making a donation of any amount. Wish me and my Mustache luck! 16OCT2012 UPDATE: I know you're all so thankful that I have chosen ... more

Wish me and my Mustache luck! 16OCT2012 UPDATE: I know you're all so thankful that I have chosen not to hide, but rather, share the 'stache. Things I've learned about myself: For some strange reason my mustache refuses to fuse. It's like I have eyebrows over my mouth (which is weird since I have a mono-brow over my eyes). This gives me an unfair advantage, since it's like I have two mustaches fighting for one great cause. Can you believe it's been two whole weeks that I've been growing this thing... "You know, for kids!" I see that my mustache / 胡子 / Schnurrbart / 코밑 수염 / bigote has raised an impressive amount for underfunded schools in Illinois and other areas of 'Merica. Please help fund a project if you haven't already. Everyone else can just bask in the ambiance that is my mustache. Seriously, thanks to all who have donated... 2 weeks to go! hide
