The idea with the noodles pic is to put the viewer in the place of someone eating the noodles, followed by some noodle propaganda in the caption.

Yeah, I need to check up on browser support of longdesc... Thanks for your comments, Dave. -- David Balch. | Web developer. T: +44 (0)1865 280979 | Technology-Assisted Lifelong Learning.
