Wacky whiskers compete
Lutz Giasa, left, and Karl-Heinz Hiller, both of Berlin, Germany, strike a pose. The Germans are sending a 20-person contingent. Missing, however, will be Elmar Weisser in the freestyle full beard category. When it comes to outlandish styling of facial hair, Weisser has the touch. In 2005 in Berlin, Weisser styled his beard into the shape of the Brandenburg Gate. Two years later in Brighton, England, it was London's Tower Bridge. AP Photo/Mark Thiessen
