 This might be a documentation issue, but I'm feeling a bit clueless
 tonight after reading
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wpdb_Class

 {{{
 var_dump($wpdb->prepare("SELECT 1 WHERE col1 LIKE 'image%'"));
 //returns bool(false)
 }}}

 prepare() seems incapable of even the most simple LIKE query syntax.
