James Cagney with a Moustache

This still was taken from the 1940 film Torrid Zone, starring a moustached James Cagney in the role of Nick 'Nicky' Butler. Ann Sheridan also stars, though she is sadly without (detectable) facial hair.

A Quasi-Beard That Defies Easy Categorization

Via The Daily Telegraph.

This is an interesting specimen that defies easy categorization. However, I would imagine that it fell neatly into the "Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time" bin, metaphorically speaking.

Moustached Champions of Our Times - Alan Francis

Via AmericanProfile.com

A well-known Paper of Record recently did a profile on the moustached man pictured above, Alan Francis. The man is a veritable Tiger Woods of The Game of Horseshoes, minus the philandering, billions of dollars, and following. Francis has El Tigre beat in more than a few departments, however, as evidenced by both his moustache and the whopping 15 World Championships under his proverbial belt.

Here he is in action.

Great Beards in History: Yegor Ivanovich Zolotarev

Via The Wikipedia.

On this Day in History some 132 years ago, a bearded man breathed his last. Then again, it may not have been this exact Day in History.

What is certain, contradictory community moderated death-dates aside, is that Yegor (Egor) Ivanovich Zolotarev had one helluva beard while he was alive. His main claim to fame in his day was not his ability to grow facial hair, however. Instead, it was mathematics. You may know him via his lemma, but then again, probably not. According to Interweb legend, he solved the following equation:

I'm impressed, as I have no idea what the hell is going on up there. After solving for x (or whatever one does to solve math problems) Yegor went on to be hit by a train. He subsequently died of blood poisoning. So it goes.
