    You posted the wrong photo. That's the guy with the record for Most People Involved In Shaving Off One Man's Beard. Here's the link with photo:

    I'll have that problem fixed as soon as our picture-hosting service starts to work this morning.

    Why's that man got a hedgehog on his chin?

    This is something to be proud of?

    Why is this something anyone would want to do?

    Perhaps I'd like to apply for ... ehhh... having gotten the most wind over my unbearded chin on a stormy North-Sea night...?

    Duhhh...

    being an avid toothpick user and very bearded man myself, trust me, those toothpicks find themselves in there on their own.

    something to very much be proud of.

    also, i'd challenge his record but im not sure the diner down the street would be happy about me taking anywhere near 2,000 toothpicks from their toothpick dispenser.

    When it comes to their beards, some men are very picky.

    I'm not sure this counts as "making history."

    LisaL will be along in a bit to tell us this is how she passes her time instead of freezing mercury fish.

    Sadly, this was the beginning of the end for Gaspar's career as a QA inspector at the balloon factory.

    This is making history. Due to his lack of facial hair, Julius Caesar was known to stick toothpicks in his face.
    Moses kept ten in his beard - one for each commandment.
    Jesus' crown of thorns was actually made from the discarded toothpicks of Roman soldiers.
    Henry VIII once lost an entire roasted chicken in his beard.
    Napoleon used to insert toothpicks in his chest hair, which is why he kept one hand inside his shirt - it kept the toothpicks from pressing too hard into his skin.
    It wasn't until the roaring 20's that the fad caught on, and it still continues as a popular tradition among the Amish community today.

    I now know why I was born. To grow a beard and break this record.
