Let's Play "Caption That Photo"!

Mmmm, mad cow steak!
The New York Times has a caption for this lovely photo which reads:

"Soothing Mad Cow Concerns
Prime Minister Jean Chretien of Canada ate a prime Alberta steak in a downtown Ottawa restaurant today in a bid to allay public fears over mad cow disease."

But I think this photo needs a better caption.

"Don't choke, bloke."
or
"Is he really gonna swallow that?"

(On a totally non-related topic, I have to confess that I'm very proud of myself for figuring out how to create a table in html which lets this text wrap around this rather frightening photo. It took a couple hours and a few tuna melts of practice last night, but now I've put my new-found skills to good use. Be afraid. Be very afraid.)

Any suggestions from you, my loyal readers?

It's not polite to chew with your mouth open, eh?

[commentator] little does he know we switched his favorite steak with his pet Fido...let's see if he can tell the difference...

Actually -- there is an easier way. :) (Although I'm proud that you took the effort to do that.)

The tag has an attribute just for that purpose.

I'm not sure if you HTML in your comments or not, so I'm going to add some spaces so it will read as text.

That should do the trick for you. You could change "right" to "left" or "center" or a number of other things as well.

Hope that helps. :)

OK -- Here ya go. This will show up. Here is what it should be:

I'm having problems displaying your style sheet - maybe because I'm running safari on OSX?
