Beards and moustaches take shape for a good cause

It's getting itchy over at Ubisoft. All November long, employees at Ubisoft's San Francisco, Montreal, Quebec, Vancouver and France offices have been letting their facial hair fly free as part of the annual 'Movember' cancer research fundraiser.

As any manly man can tell you, Movember is an entire month dedicated to the growing, sculpting and parading of fancy beards and moustaches. In addition to alienating themselves from spouses, participants also raise fundsfrom their friends and families to help in the fight against cancer.

There's still time to donate to Ubisoft's team or anyone else participating in Movember. Just make sure to ask if they are, in fact, doing it for Movember. Trust me, you don't want to get into that conversation with Aunt Harriet.

P.S. Yes, we're aware that this is only tangentially related to games, but if you were us, and someone said something about Ubisoft's mustaches curing cancer, wouldn't you write about it?
