... since it's been a bit quiet, here's a test for your (beginning)
category theory students, list moderator willing.

Get them to check out

http://www.corbisimages.com/Search#pg=peter+m+fisher&mlt=42-19062533&mla=19062533

and see how much category theory they can find, and explain. I was
involved in a number of these photos, and even put in current research
(even some then - and now! - unpublished stuff).

One of these photos was mentioned at the Secret Blogging Seminar

http://sbseminar.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/maths-in-advertising/#comment-3648,

namely this one:

http://www.corbisimages.com/stock-photo/rights-managed/42-17571994/advanced-math-student-reading,

used in an advert in New York.

Poignant to see Loday's name in this one:
http://www.corbisimages.com/stock-photo/rights-managed/42-19062533/man-looking-at-blackboard,
from four or so years ago.
