Adam Garone has an impressive moustache, and it’s for a good cause. A co-founder of Movember, Garone’s initiative to raise awareness for men’s health — by having men grow out their moustaches every November — began as a dare in a bar in 2003. Now, it’s a worldwide movement.
Movember – changing the face of men’s health

This is the face of men’s health in my life and life just wouldn’t be the same without them. Throughout November Miss Vivi will be supporting Movember Australia by being a Mo Sista and sporting a moustache on all our sites.
Movember is an annual charity initiative that sees the sprouting of moustaches on guys around the globe during November, in a united movement for men’s health.
Committing their top lip for 30 hairy days these men (known as Mo Bros), effectively become walking, talking billboards and through their Mo growing efforts, raise vital funds and awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health.
Thanks to the support of over one million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas across 21 countries, Movember is now recognised as one of the world’s leading non-government funders of research and care programs for men’s health issues.

While we were distracted by the Gingerdead War happening in the kitchen this week a love story has been blossoming at the other end of the bench. Nawww
Now, I don’t know a lot about Gingerdead genetics but there’s a lesson plan in here somewhere.
First a couple of Gingerdead skelemen got together and produced a couple of crumbs. The Gingerdead family was born.
The little one had an itch to scratch and you can see that didn’t go too well. He seems to like having his eye handy like that, though. Apparently it makes watching for mummydead men a lot easier when you are hiding behind the toaster.
In a shocking turn of events the two became three and an interesting phenotype appeared.
I haven’t sat down and done the punnet squares, but I shall keep an eye on future events and keep you posted. I’m sure there’s a lesson plan here somewhere 😉
In the meantime, if you on the lookout for a good genetics lesson then these Spongebob Squarepants Genetics classroom resources from The Science Spot have been a hit in any class I’ve seen them used in.
