The cherubs probably know the difference between precision and accuracy.

Seriously mate? The cat just vomited and I can’t concentrate back here with that view.
Wow. Breaking all the rules (about protective clothing & accessories, as well as about child labor).
Well here we are naked, underage, child labors, no personal protection equipment, with sharp tools. Wait till OSHA gets this picture. Whats up with the cat, I thought she was still hawking that paste wax. Well least her hair grew back.

And in other news, authorities participated in a pre-dawn raid of the Christopher Q. Schwarz Daycare and Furniture Manufactory. Officials received numerous complaints regarding the paper thickness in posters that Schwarz reportedly sells on his alt-anarchist blog. Known to neighbors as a recluse, Schwarz was seen being led out of the building while wearing a glittered halter top with “The Blaze” stenciled across the front. One individual who participated in the raid, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said he was shocked by what officers found when they entered the facility. When asked by this reporter for a comment on the conditions inside, Schwarz shouted, “It’s 17th century vernacular!” The law firm Underhill, Sparklepony, and Maneater will reportedly be representing Schwarz.
