And remember, ladies. Cooking is fun.

They really don't look happy. The full size version is now my screensaver.

Assorted mountaintop monasteries.

This one's got 'Guild of Evil' written all over it.

My kids feed sea monkeys to their fish.

Is it just me, or are most of the women in that cooking class just plain ugly?

Jason,

The ladies aren’t happy, that’s for sure. Except for the woman in the middle of the front row. She has mischief on her mind.

[Mr Potarto]

I pity the poor lad at the back, whose shoulder is being used as a hat by a woman in the third row.

David, quote of the day....

"The president has a very difficult time with the business community. Most people in business and most people who are successful are Republican, that's just a fact of life." - Bill Daley President Obama's former Chief of Staff

rjmadden,

Heh. I doubt Mr Daley has thought through the implications. It does rather sound like he’s admitting, “People who succeed and create jobs, and on whose efforts and values so much depends, are the people we continually scorn and belittle.” I feel an urge to contrast that with the Guardian’s Zoe Williams, who thinks “the jobs that people want to do” are - to quote Tim Worstall - “spending other peoples’ money, reporting on spending other peoples’ money and lobbying to spend other peoples’ money.”

And as for quotes of the day, try this gem. Supermodels are all about self-awareness.
