[the phelp]

Pumice?

[webcrawlur]

[SolidxSnake]

It's also a protein.. you just had to go edit your post to remove the hint :(

[SnowManZ]

It's also a protein.. you just had to go edit your post to remove the hint :(

you are right. I didn't want to give a hint away too early, but I did, then I regretted it after words.

[Spidy]

It is a half eaten rawhide dog bone.

[SolidxSnake]

[RandyMN]

[ABrownPhoto]

[RandyMN]

Also looks like a
-Booger
-Ear wax
-Caramel apple

???

If your boogers look like that then I feel for you.
If your ear wax looks like that I feel even more for you.
If you eat a caramale apple that looks like that then your sick.

[ABrownPhoto]

-frog?

[RandyMN]

Nope. But a hint is that it's a sign of Spring.

[RandyMN]

Another view

[ABrownPhoto]

UGH, it looks so odd.... whatever it is

[SolidxSnake]

[RandyMN]

-Budding Flower?

[RandyMN]

In the rain of course!

[RandyMN]

Looks like some kind of lock tumbler

[RandyMN]

Wife says it's a o ring tool bit, caliper or micrometer??? I don't know what that is.

[Chet]

Electric can opener?

[Skrim17]

neon sign?

[SolidxSnake]

Wife says it's a o ring tool bit, caliper or micrometer??? I don't know what that is.



Caliper = Micrometer and possibly = o-ring tool bit (though i'm not exactly sure what an o-ring tool bit is). Calipers/Micrometers measure very small gaps and widths, for instance, the distance between a guitar string and the fretboard under it and such.

[ABrownPhoto]

-NOPE to ALL.... Sorry to be gone for so long, I was at work from 9:15am-10:00pm today, and had pretty much NOTHING to do all day, until 8:00 hit (round the time I posted) and was busy from then on.... OMGoodness!!!! I was supposed to be off work at 8:30pm!!



Anywho, I am going to enjoy the extra overtime $$ in 2 weeks ;)

Sorry to be gone so long.... this answer will have to do because i technically cannot say NO to it.

It is a circuit board from a kodak disposable camera

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y162/andyrsxs/POTN/DSC01207.jpg

You are up!

[SolidxSnake]

What part of the camera is that?! I see a transformer on the far left but what is that tube? All I can think of is it's a flash tube but that doesn't seem right.

[Skrim17]

It is up for grabs, nothing ready here.

[Daniel2000]

What part of the camera is that?! I see a transformer on the far left but what is that tube? All I can think of is it's a flash tube but that doesn't seem right.

I'm pretty sure it is the flash tube

[qtaran111]

What part of the camera is that?! I see a transformer on the far left but what is that tube? All I can think of is it's a flash tube but that doesn't seem right.

Yep, definitely flashtube, with transformer to get the high voltage required for the flash. The metal part around the tube is the reflector.

[SolidxSnake]

Thought so, the thing that threw me off was the huge rod through the tube, normally it's a thin filament.

I'll take next pic.

Answer is in the post, don't cheat and say the answer if you decide to look. You'll have to find out what you're doing to find the answer, though :)

[Chet]

Car side view mirror adjust knob?

[qtaran111]

Thought so, the thing that threw me off was the huge rod through the tube, normally it's a thin filament.

There's no filament in camera flashes at all. Those "rods" are the electrodes at either ends of the glass envelope with gas (xenon) in between that "flashes".

As for the pic, looks like the navigation button thing on a mobile phone.

[Chet]

Shutter on an older camera.

Hmm, coulda sworn I saw a filament running across the length of the flash tube in my Vivitar 283.

You guessed right, btw. Here are the pics of the phone.

[qtaran111]

Funnily enough, the only reason I guessed the phone button was that I took a macro of mine to use in this game (but didn't end up using it).

No filament - flashes use gas discharge, not incandescence. Sometimes it can look like there is a filament due to the curvature of the glass which bends a reflection of the silver reflector into the centre of the glass tube (if that makes sense :)).

Someone else take it as I don't have anything to post right now.

[bara03]

Okay, as no one has posted, here is a macro:

-not a ring pull can
-it IS metalic

[Daniel2000]

by the look of the part at the buttom of the pic
there seems to be a weld, if so by the look of it, I would guess it's made out of aluminum
but for the rest I have no idea

[ABrownPhoto]

I don't really know what "type" of metal it is made out of, but It is definitely heave for what it is.

[bara03]

[ABrownPhoto]

-Roach bait?

[Spidy]

Leathery plastic type case?

[<AkulA>]

-Waffle tray?
-Pizza tray?
-Roach bait?

nope X3

Leathery plastic type case?

Give me a little more detail here, not sure what ya mean.

[jtikompressor]

it almost looks like a rubber grommet in the firewall of a car.

but im sure im way off lol

[<AkulA>]

rubbery would be a good way to describe the material, but it's not a grommet, and not part of a car!

[Mom27andblessed]

Is it a top or lid to a pop up type of dispenser? You know...like baby wipes or clorox wipes or something similar?

[<AkulA>]

nope, sort of similar tho

[Spidy]

nope X3



Give me a little more detail here, not sure what ya mean.

I used to have a case that held my fisheye lens. It may have been leather, but it could have been fake leather. It closed like that on the top.

[<AkulA>]

Well, not exactly - but I'll give it to ya for being close enough, lol. It's a rubberized camera cover for my trusty SD630. Specifically it's the part that goes over the lens - heres a shot of it open!

[Spidy]

Not a booster seat or high chair, or tray.

I don't know if it's because it's the weekend, or if I put up a really hard one, but there isn't a lot of guesses going on. I will add more clues to get this going ....

"Most" households have one
"Most" live at the house until delapitated
"Many" are painted

And if those clues didn't give it away ... here is another view ... different section of same thing ...
