Gettin' my Ralph Nader on

According to legend, Movember began in 2003 as the beer-induced brainchild of a few guys in Melbourne who thought it would be funny to bring back the 'stache.

With nearly 200,000 participants and tens of millions of dollars being raised for prostate cancer research worldwide, Movember has become a potent agent for change. And in bar graph form, the uptick in participation would look something like half an upturned stache.
