Man won't shave beard until Osama is caught

Gary Weddle vows to keep the beard, "even if I'm buried in it." After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Gary Weddle began following the news so closely he forgot to shave. After a week he decided not to shave until Osama bin Laden had been caught or killed.
I think this takes real dedication. Wonder if he ever gets confused with bin Laden with a beard like his?
