T minus 9 months to Father's Day. Coincidence? I think not. It certainly stands up to reason that the world's best father would sport a beard. This came in the tipline, and it's on the Internet, so it must be true. Ladies and gentlemen, the world's best father is Dave Engledow. That, or Dave spends a lot of time photo(graph|shopp)ing the guy who is.

Cancer sucks. And no, that's not some kind of hipsteronic way to say life sucks. Beards cure cancer via scientific research. Also, it is the opinion of SweetBeard that beards may additionally cure cancer thru the powers of being awesome. Either way, don't forget to Donate to Septembeard.

Weird science? Not really. The SweetBeard justification document has long claimed beards were resistant to the wind and attractive to the mate, but it may soon get an update. Beards are more powerful than great big nuclear furnaces* Scientopia reports of a recently published article eloquently named "Dosimetric investigation of the solar erythemal UV radiation protection provided by beards and moustaches" which proves what you already suspected. We expect this fine piece will soon have many citations.

*Provided said furnaces are at least 92,960,000 miles from beard.
