No. I have been eating quite healthy meals of late. Lots of natural stuff.

[Bend The Light]

Bread stick, or a cracker?

[Taylor Rowe]

Omelet?

[Dean Rachwitz]

Bread stick, or a cracker?
Nope.

It isn't an omelet, but I do have omelets on a regular basis. I never put this in them, however.

[Taylor Rowe]

Pancakes or potato cakes?

[TammyC]

English muffin or bagel?

Pancakes or potato cakes?
Nope.

Unfortunately not.



This is nuts! I thought you guys would have had this a long time ago. :cool:

[TammyC]

hehe is it some sort of nut, peanut, almond?

[Dean Rachwitz]

hehe is it some sort of nut, peanut, almond?

Ah ha! Tammy is on the ball! :) My sly hint didn't get past you at all. :p

It is indeed an almond. Over to you!

[Drakeskakes]

Your clues suck!!!! Noone would ever fry am almond, nor is it breakfast food lol

[Dean Rachwitz]

Your clues suck!!!! Noone would ever fry am almond, nor is it breakfast food lol
I wasn't giving clues, I was answering questions. :) I believe I said you "could fry an almond, not that you would or should." And I eat almonds for breakfast everyday, and you can find almonds in lots of breakfast cereals, no? :D

[TammyC]

WoooHooo! :D That was a tough one Dean! Good job!! Thanks for the subtle hint hahah. I will have to allow someone else to take my turn because I am at work and will not be able to post till late tonight. So it's over to whoever would like to post in my place!

[Drakeskakes]

Hahah I'm gonna post a picture of shoe laces and be like "yeah u could use it as a necktie but you most likely shouldn't or woudlnt...but you could" bhajahaha just bustin your balls

[Sharpmaxell]

do you have a full size picture of said almond?

[macroshooter1970]

Dean, you are misleading us :lol:

[sparkin]

Yeah, I see it now - almond - good one.

[sparkin]

WoooHooo! :D That was a tough one Dean! Good job!! Thanks for the subtle hint hahah. I will have to allow someone else to take my turn because I am at work and will not be able to post till late tonight. So it's over to whoever would like to post in my place!

To keep it going, here's one:

[macroshooter1970]

To keep it going, here's one:


can it be fried

[Purple Puppy]

Is it the interior of a transparent plastic cover for a USB device? :P
or perhaps the glass cockpit of a toy helicopter or other aircraft?

[sparkin]

can it be fried

To paraphrase Dean, you could fry it, but it would be a really bad idea.

[sparkin]

Is it the interior of a transparent plastic cover for a USB device? :P
or perhaps the glass cockpit of a toy helicopter or other aircraft?

Neither of those.

[Purple Puppy]

Is it a piece of highly irregular bubble wrap? a piece of silicone grommet on which a load is placed?
Is it the shape of a rectangular pyramid with a flat (sawed-off) top? EDIT: a frustum is the proper mathematical name for it.

None of those.

[Drakeskakes]

It's plastic??

[katodog]

An old flash cube??

[macroshooter1970]

is it a toy of some kind.

[Dean Rachwitz]

To paraphrase Dean, you could fry it, but it would be a really bad idea.

bw!

[Dean Rachwitz]

do you have a full size picture of said almond?
I do - I will post it when I get home. :) That was the full frame, though. I took that with my 18-55 mounted backwards.

Dean, you are misleading us :lol:
I work in Information Security. The proper term is 'obfuscation.' :)

whatever you want to call it, you did a good job :lol:

[sparkin]

It's plastic??

Good question. It's certainly a polymer of some sort, so I'll say yes.

[sparkin]

An old flash cube??

No.

is it a toy of some kind.

No.

[hairy_moth]

a lens for a LED light

[sparkin]

a lens for a LED light

Nope.

[hairy_moth]

Is it something Dean would eat for breakfast? :)

[hqqns]

some cellulose ?

[sparkin]

Is it something Dean would eat for breakfast? :)

I doubt even Dean would stomach this stuff. :lol::lol:

[sparkin]

some cellulose ?

Nope.

[Brain Mechanic]

Christmas light bulb or ornament?

[sparkin]

Christmas light bulb or ornament?

No.

[BmanH]

Is it some type of packaging?

[sparkin]

Is it some type of packaging?

It is sometimes used for packaging, but not always.

[Drakeskakes]

Bubble wrap

[sparkin]

Bubble wrap

Bubble wrap was suggested earlier by Purple Puppy, but that's not it.

[BmanH]

Is this something you inflate?

[sparkin]

Is this something you inflate?

No.

[MikeFairbanks]

A condom or condom wrapper?

[sparkin]

A condom or condom wrapper?

No.

[macroshooter1970]

the window on the Millennium Falcon

[Dean Rachwitz]

Some sort of cookware? A bowl or dish? It looks like it has cellophane stuck to it.

Here is the infamous almond, for anyone who cares. :D

[MikeFairbanks]

Cover to a hottub/pool?

[macroshooter1970]

dang nuts

[sparkin]

the window on the Millennium Falcon

:lol:

[sparkin]

Some sort of cookware? A bowl or dish? It looks like it has cellophane stuck to it.

No that's not it. When I first took the picture I was surprised at how it looked, so I inspected it under a microscope in my lab. It's really quite intricate. The picture is just a very small section of it.

Cover to a hottub/pool?

Not that either.

The closest so far has probably been bubble wrap, but it's not bubble wrap.

[Purple Puppy]

STYROFOAM!

... maybe not.

[Brain Mechanic]

Ziplock bag?

[sparkin]

STYROFOAM!

Technically it's not styrofoam, but you're close enough, so you're up Puppy.

It's the sort of foam that you might find in a cushion. This particular piece was used to separate stacks of microscope cover slips. It's completely open cell - very few (if any) bubbles at all, just an intricate framework polymer. Here's a bit more of it:

[MikeFairbanks]

Styrofoam's real name is polystyrene, so he was even closer than that.

I've never seen that stuff before.

[tomd]

;) I was going to guess a blow up doll :lol:

[sparkin]

Styrofoam's real name is polystyrene, so he was even closer than that.

I've never seen that stuff before.

Yes, I know all about polystyrene - I'm a chemistry professor by day! :) . This stuff is not polystyrene, and it doesn't feel (to me) like polyurethane. Either way, it's very common - there's probably some in your seat cushions. I was surprised that it is completely open cell.

Isn't there a show about that? Breaking Bad or something? ;)

[hqqns]

A switch

[MikeFairbanks]

A printer?

[Purple Puppy]

nope. Not a switch, nor printer.

[macroshooter1970]

a lock on your fridge

[Purple Puppy]

A ridge is a long, narrow piece of raised land, and I'm not sure how you can put a lock on that. But it doesn't have much to do with a lock. Although, the pictured portion of the mechanism does prevent a moving part from moving, for the purposes of storage when the mechanism is not in use. (I hope I haven't given away too much).

[macroshooter1970]

damn spelling, I forgot the F....leave me alone lol :lol:

[macroshooter1970]

is it a cabinet or something

[Purple Puppy]

It's not a cabinet. Oh wait, didn't you tell me to leave you alone? maybe your guess doesn't count then (it's wrong anyway). :P

[hqqns]

some sort of latch

[aebrown]

part of a picture frame?

[Purple Puppy]

Not really... A latch is a type of mechanical fastener that is used to join two (or more) objects or surfaces together while allowing for the regular or eventual separation of the objects or surfaces.
And neither is it a picture frame. However, when not in use, there is a clear covering over it.

[hqqns]

It looks like it has some sort of locking mechanism

[Purple Puppy]

The clear protective cover can lock onto it at that point. But that's not the point of the bigger picture.

[macroshooter1970]

It's not a cabinet. Oh wait, didn't you tell me to leave you alone? maybe your guess doesn't count then (it's wrong anyway). :P

you know what I mean :smile:

[hqqns]

Can you fry it? And would Dean eat it ?:mrgreen:

[Purple Puppy]

Usually it is not considered proper practice to fry such equipment. As for whether Dean would eat it, I'm not sure. When I Googled "eat a ______" with quotation marks where ______ is the name of this object, I got 4 results. Out of those 4 results, two of them had a full stop between "eat" and "a". So, I can assume that few people have thought of eating it.

[Dean Rachwitz]

Wood stove? Some sort of cooking equipment?

[BmanH]

You mentioned it was equipment. Is it a type of equipment commonly used at home?

[Purple Puppy]

It is an equipment found in many homes, including mine. Some artists use it, and some artists vehemently oppose using it. This mechanical device was invented in Amsterdam in 1812, and the particular piece I have at home is of the brand NIKKO (made in Japan, probably).

[Dean Rachwitz]

Is it a metronome? :)

Actually, I am sure it is. I'd have never guessed that with out lots of help. If I'm right, I'll pass to whomever wishes to post next - its late and I'm headed to bed.

[Purple Puppy]

Yes it is! I knew I gave away waaaay too much info. You could google "in Amsterdam in 1812" and the first result would be metronome-related. :)

http://i594.photobucket.com/albums/tt23/purpypupple/IMG_1016.jpg

Well, your turn! :D

[BmanH]

A metronome then?

[BmanH]

Doh! Too late. Darn blackberry.

[hqqns]

Doh! Too late. Darn blackberry.

Dean said he would pass on the the next image so why don't you post one :)

[BmanH]

I would but I'm not home right now. Had I actually beat Dean to it I'd ask you all to wait a few hours anyways.

[sparkin]

Can you fry it? And would Dean eat it ?:mrgreen:

Still no answer to Subby's question ...

[BmanH]

I guess I do get to put one up.

Nope

Not chicken

[Dean Rachwitz]

Pork? Beef? Venison? Fish? Damn, now I'm hungry.

It does look like meat.

[BmanH]

Pork? Beef? Venison? Fish? Damn, now I'm hungry.

None of the above. Nor is it meat.

[Dean Rachwitz]

Leather?

[macroshooter1970]

cardboard

[Bend The Light]

Chinese spring roll?

[BmanH]

Leather?

No

cardboard

No

Stick to foods. :)

[BmanH]

Chinese spring roll?

Tis not.

[hqqns]

Is it food?

[Purple Puppy]

The edge of a Danish pastry? Fried cuttlefish strips? or a badly abused carapace of a crab?

[BmanH]

Is it food?

Yes.

The edge of a Danish pastry? Fried cuttlefish strips? or a badly abused carapace of a crab?

None of the above. Poor crab! They're already steamed alive!

[hairy_moth]

Is it fried breakfast food?

[hqqns]

Is it fried breakfast food?

lol

Is it a cereal?

[BmanH]

Is it fried breakfast food?

I guess I'll pull a "Dean" here and say you could fry it and some do eat it for breakfast. :)

In fact, you most certainly can fry it and it's delicious. Now I'm getting hungry too.

[A.Christopher]

Is it dough?

[BmanH]

Is it a cereal?

No

Is it dough?

No

[macroshooter1970]

is it fiber

[A.Christopher]

Is it flat bread?

[BmanH]

is it fiber

Good question. This food contains dietary fiber. Without giving too much away, another part of this food (not pictured - nor do I possess a picture of it) can be used as fiber in a textile sense.

Is it flat bread?

No

[hqqns]

a doughnut/berliner etc ?

[Randi]

Part of a nut of some sort (I know it doesn't really look like it but the fiber got me thinking about peanut butter, haha...)? Some type of jerky?

[hqqns]

Part of a nut of some sort?

Oh no! not another fried nut :mrgreen:

[MikePrattPhotography]

Cardboard?

[hqqns]

Cardboard?

That was already guessed, we know it's a food and can be fried....though dean would probably eat fried cardboard for breakfast (j/k dean ;) )

[macroshooter1970]

frosted mini wheats haha, I need to eat something.

[tonylong]

Note he mentions "textile fibers" as well as food fibers -- I think it's obvious that he eats pot for breakfast and wears hemp clothing:)!

[BmanH]

No

No. Although I hear cardboard is delicious. :)

No. Not cereal.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: But no.

Does it have flax in it ?

[Drakeskakes]

triscuit?

[hqqns]

Does it have flax in it ?

triscuit?

/me googles what these are...

OK I've learned two things today :)

P.S. It turns out I knew what flax is - also known as linseed

[sparkin]

Where'd Berman go ? Maybe he's over on WAIN.

[BmanH]

Does it have flax in it ?

Not according to wikipedia...

triscuit?

No

Where'd Berman go ? Maybe he's over on WAIN.

Hahaha. I was enjoying dinner and TV time with the wifey. Btw, Breaking Bad is an excellent show.

[BmanH]

I'll throw another bone out there. The macro shot I took is not the usual part of this food. No one has asked about any other food category (http://www.codexalimentarius.net/gsfaonline/foods/index.html) other than meat, fish, and cereal.

[A.Christopher]

Is it a fruit or vegetable?

[BmanH]

Is it a fruit or vegetable?

It is a fruit.

[A.Christopher]

Pineapple?

[hqqns]

Pineapple?

Lol i had that written in the quick reply 5 min ago and I fogot to click reply.. 10 month olds can be rather distracting hehe

[A.Christopher]

Doh! heh if I'm correct I'll give you the win anyways :)

[hqqns]

Doh! heh if I'm correct I'll give you the win anyways :)

Nah that's alright, I'm sure it'll be something else anyway ;)

[hqqns]

Anyway we would find out soon if Berman stopped mucking about with his wife and gets back to what's important, hehe :lol:

[BmanH]

Pineapple?

Afraid not.

Doh! heh if I'm correct I'll give you the win anyways :)

I guess this doesn't apply. :grin:

Nah that's alright, I'm sure it'll be something else anyway ;)

It certainly is something else.

[BmanH]

Anyway we would find out soon if Berman stopped mucking about with his wife and gets back to what's important, hehe :lol:

:lol::lol::lol: We don't muck about in the US. We just chill.

[Drakeskakes]

inside of a citrus fruit peel, lime, lemon , orange peel

[hqqns]

Is the piece of fruit raw or has it been cooked or changed in anyway...

[hqqns]

banana

[BmanH]

inside of a citrus fruit peel, lime, lemon , orange peel

This is the closest guess so far but it is none of these fruits.

Is the piece of fruit raw or has it been cooked or changed in anyway...

It's raw. It also seems as if someone has already posted this fruit on here before. I hope I didn't break any rules by repeating. =x

[Drakeskakes]

Banana peel inside
