Warning: The following picture may frighten animals and small children

This picture is one of an eLib project manager. Thankfully, the picture is not a current one; having said that, it was taken only 11 years ago. We thought we would go for a more abstract picture this time to make people think a little harder (I wonder how many entries will mention the word hair!).

The prize for the caption competition for this issue is a genuine fluffy toy! (Don't worry, it doesn't look too much like whatever is on the unfortunate persons head :-)

If you don't want to enter, but are part of the eLib programme/movement, then have a go at guessing who it is.

Caption Picture

The usual rules apply; obscene or offensive captions are immediately rejected; an independent judge will decide the winning entry and the near misses. Email in your caption; you can enter as many times as you want; the closing date is November 1st, 1996. If you require anonymity, please request it with your entry. Good luck...
