Man won't shave until Osama caught (pic included)
EPHRATA, Washington (AP) -- After the September 11 terrorist attacks, Gary Weddle followed the news so closely he forgot to shave. After a week he decided not to shave until Osama bin Laden was caught or killed.

Nor has Weddle, 46, who expected the al Qaeda leader to be caught within a month or so, trimmed his facial hair in the succeeding five years as he went from substitute teacher to science instructor at Ephrata Middle School.

At the start of each school year he gives students a brief explanation of his beard, which stretches more than a foot and has started turning gray.

2. Well, if he's depending on * to catch him
he might as well take some guitar lessons and see if ZZ Top has any openings...

4. He might only have to wait until the mid-terms then

There's lot of speculation that there will either be a Bin Laden capture or another Bin Laden video tape will miraculously (or conveniently?) show up 18 hours before the polls open.

9. The video tape scare tactic worked pretty good in '04
