This picture is a "four guys walk into a bar..." joke waiting to happen

The Day in Photos | Monday, October 18th, 2010

President Barack Obama’s speech to students attending the White House science fair is seen on a monitor in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Monday, Oct. 18, 2010, in Washington. Seated from right to left in front row are Mythbusters Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, Bill Nye the Science Guy, and Secretary of Energy Steven Chu. President Obama will appear on an episode of Mythbusters that will air on Dec. 8.

Now I love to see some Adam and Jamie — looks like Jamie has his dress beret on! — but this is so peculiarly contemporary. "We want to celebrate Science! Let's have some guests of honor!" "Should we invite some famous scientists?" "I've got a better idea: popular TV presenters who host sciency shows!" What a sad state of affairs.

Ehh.  Maybe there were also Top Men around and they just aren't in frame.  And who could begrudge the photographer taking pictures of such magnificent whiskers as those possessed by the mythbusters?
