My Research Partner Dave has started growing his beard. We had discussed the idea of doing it for charity but that sort of fizzled out after we couldn’t think of a beard related charity. Senior contributor Brian Rice suggested that he shave the beard after three months and donate it to a bald person. You, the public may now be the determining factor in what we are doing this for. Charity? Hair? Fun? I’m not holding my breath on this one. Dave’s main reason for not shaving today was:

“It was snowing so I left early and didn’t have time to shave.”

I give it until 9pm Eastern Standard time. Send your checks now.
