Charles Lyell

Beginning what will hopefully be celebrated as the "great facial hair in Science" series, we have Charles Lyell, arguably the father of modern Geology and Darwin's mentor, scientific father-figure, and inspiration in many ways.

Lyell was so awesome, in fact, that he is our moustache of the day and didn't even have a moustache. Just some incredible, epic sideburns that he certainly twisted as he hemmed and hawwed, with furrowed brow, as he thought about geology.

Marcel Duchamp

Today's Moustache of the Day belongs to Marcel Duchamp, Dadaist and Surrealist. I think you could call this both an interesting moustache and an unusual example of graffiti. This moustache dates to 1919.
