Mahouts, or elephant drivers, train elephants in the first mahout training school in Thrissur in the state of Kerala in south western India. 64 elephants live in a jungle sanctuary and are cared for by 177 mahouts. Elephants are assigned to one caregiver who will train, feed, bathe and drive it daily, a relationship that will “last a lifetime” between the elephant and its driver.

Someone has inevitably created a piece of toast with Presidential Elect Barack Obama’s face on it, like the 2004 Virgin Mary’s face on toast that fetched $28k on eBay and went on to inspire countless copycats. Current bidding on eBay for this unoriginal item has reached $207.50. In case you’re interested in some inspiring imagery on your morning toast, there’s a pop art toaster that lets you select from general clip-art type pictures like smiley faces, a daisy, and hearts.

The Virgin Mary? Ha! I thought it was George Washington at first glance.
Police driving Lamborghinis? WRONG, WRONG WRONG! I am so jealous. I love that car.
That looks more like Elvis to me. Definitely not the virgin mary though, unless she recently got a bouffant hairdo.
That vespa is BITCHIN AND I WANT IT.
That’s not supposed to be the Virgin Mary. Read what I wrote:

I will reword it so the Obama part is first.
I hope we are not going to be disapointed and that the barack’s toast is not going to mold as the one of the virgin didn’t… We all wait for miracles in that new chapter !
That Vespa kicks ass. And the toast looks like Dubya, not Obama. Hail to Our New Toast Overlord!
mmmmm toast!
yes we can!
Thanks for posting such rad pictures. I really love the elephant pictures – Kerala is such beautiful country . . . I wonder if the mahouts are teaching their elephants the tenants of communism?
Everyone pack their bags! We’re movin’ to Italy and becoming Law Enforcement Officers!!
