That explains it then. I'd think that he'd be better off sans mustache, I mean, one less bit of a hair to pull while wrestling.

And now I know why Shakuni hates the Kurus so much. Bhishma must have pulled a Krishna and forcibly shaved off his objectionable mustache at some point. It's what I would have done.

I heard that too. I've also heard that his dice were made out of his father's bones.
