Mullfoto of the Day

Some days you get the bear. I found this headless parking meter outside of the CNN studios in Washington the other day. Most people would just do a fist pump and move on.

My first thought? Isn't this the way the Paul Newman movie Cool Hand Luke started?

Catchy Caption of the Day

Actual Caption:

The "La Fontaine de Mars" restaurant in Paris. A US "taster" tested the food being dished up to President Barack Obama at a dinner in this French restaurant.

Let's get some reporting done here. Who was the "taster?" Was it one one of the people on the Food Channel? If so, will "La Fontaine de Mars" be featured on a future episode of "Drive Ins, Diners, and Dives?
