Part of a face transplant, in transit from donor to acceptor ?

[Macris]

[Autonomous]

[jr#8]

[bcd01]

Would that be your wife or misspelling for the four legged variety?

[bcd01]

Lamb?

[sparkin]

Do we even know that it's an eye ?

[bcd01]

Do we even know that it's an eye ?

Maybe you're right; may be gonads:-)

[sparkin]

LOL, it could be considered as food in some part of the world

Maybe you're right; may be gonads:-)

Hmm, like Rocky Mountain oysters ??

[tonylong]

Eww, although they are definitely considered food, even a delicasy in some places:(:)!

[Autonomous]

Lamb?
well.. if lamb=sheep
then yes.
it is actually a sheep's left eye that i dissected during my medical anatomy lab. some countries (forgot which) actually consider it as a delicacy.

so your turn

[bcd01]

Good morning,

Thank you Autonomous; I lived in one of those countires. They make use of everything that comes off of the lamb including the intestines :p

Try this one out; I hope it has not been used before.

[jr#8]

something off a printer

[bcd01]

something off a printer

No, it is part of a common household item.

[jr#8]

would this item be used in the kithcen

[bcd01]

would this item be used in the kithcen

Yes but not exclusively. I have them in the garage too.

[jr#8]

looks like sometype of grippers

[bcd01]

looks like sometype of grippers

Note quite, but I think you headed in the right direction.

[jr#8]

tongs?

[hqqns]

is it metal or rubber?

[Tatt2Guy]

Scissors?

[bcd01]

is it metal or rubber?

Metal Spring; remainder is plastic

[Kechar]

thermostat

[bcd01]

thermostat

Good guess based on the materials, but no for an answer.

[Kechar]

Let's see I still think those are adjustable markers/needles.

Radio
Timer
Clock (doubt it, but eh)
or some kind of measuring device.

No to all above - This is a simple device used for a single purpose.

[Keebert]

Clothes peg

[bcd01]

Clothes peg


very warm

[hqqns]

[bcd01]

What do you mean by pincers?

So that's what you call them, I have quite a few of those in my tool box, but that's not this item. But you are getting warmer.

[bcd01]

Hey guys, I am going to bed.

[jr#8]

So that's what you call them
The technical name would be " Spring Clamps"

[bcd01]

The technical name would be " Spring Clamps"

Would not any clamp with a spring justify that name. Then what do call a device that you use to re-seal a potato chip bag after it has been opened?

[hqqns]

some sort of clamp, unless you're thinking of a zip or snap lock type of bag?

[bcd01]

some sort of clamp, unless you're thinking of a zip or snap lock type of bag?

You know, I have not seen a name for them and I have asked a few folks what they call them. I get answers like chip clips or bag clips or bag clamps. Anyway, that was the macro from inside the clamp.

hqqns whay don't you take it?

[Kechar]

Where's the part you took the macro of?
Trying to match your macro shot in the pics above.

[bcd01]

I opened up the claws and shot the spring mechanism.

[hqqns]

I'm not quite sure if I got that :)

I'm at least 10 hours away of being able to take a macro and post it. So if you have it post it, or wait ;)

[bcd01]

[hqqns]

NVM, stick around a try again :)

[tomd]

yeah!

It's open to anyone...I can have a new macro posted in about 12 hours if no one picks this up.

[tonylong]

Heh! Twelve hours did you say:)?

[tomd]

Heh! Twelve hours did you say:)?


oh :oops: ... work keeps getting in the way. Dang.

Anyone post up another macro

[bcd01]

Tom, maybe you need to retire and get a second job :-) I'll jump in there.

I have been messing around with a new body, 7D, and a 100mm 2.8 L IS macro today. So lets give this a try.

http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff419/radio_engineer/misc/IMG_0056-macro.jpg

If sobody get's this one quickly, I am going to be really surprised. And no its not Pluto with a 1000000 macro.

[Samina]

A stone?

[hqqns]

is it metal? Too rough to be a ball bearing, maybe lead shot?

[bcd01]

No to both

[Samina]

A decorated egg?

[bcd01]

A decorated egg?

No, but Easter is coming. Good guess

[imonkey89]

Is it food?

[bcd01]

Is it food?

Nope

[Keebert]

Tip of a ball point pen

[bcd01]

Tip of a ball point pen

Time for a hint; it is not that a pen cannot be found in the kitchen, this is part of a normal kitchen item.

[sparkin]

Is it a disposable item ?

[bcd01]

Is it a disposable item ?

No, it costs too much to consider to be disposable:-)

[jr#8]

how about a steel(knife sharpener)

[bcd01]

how about a steel(knife sharpener)

The material of this part is not metal though most of the object is. This part is some kind of polymer.

oh, not a knife sharpener:-)

[sparkin]

This part is some kind of polymer.

A non-stick type of polymer, like Teflon on a pan ? The curvature doesn't look right, but it's worth a shot.

[bcd01]

Sometimes the image can be fooling when something convex look concave. Good guess, but no:-)

[hqqns]

is it a button or knob for a kitchen appliance?

[bcd01]

is it a button or knob for a kitchen appliance?

No, but you might be getting warmer(note the hint in this statement)

[hqqns]

sparky maker (spark plug) on oven?

[sparkin]

No, but you might be getting warmer(note the hint in this statement)

A heating element ?

[bcd01]

sparky maker on oven?

What is a sparkey maker?

But the answer is no anyway, it is not part of an oven.

[bcd01]

A heating element ?

Sean, Sorry I missed your comment. No, this has nothing to do with an oven or burner. But you are getting warmer:-)

[sparkin]

Hmm - part of any kind of electrical appliance ?

[bcd01]

Hmm - part of any kind of electrical appliance ?

Nope, it does not generate heat on its own, and again, it is part of a larger object; the other part is metal.

[hqqns]

What is a sparkey maker?



The spark plug on a gas oven - to ignite the gas

So part of a toaster?

EDIT, just saw your previous relpy so scratch that question

[hqqns]

end of a pan handle?

[bcd01]

end of a pan handle?

Nope, but it is better guess that the one you scratched.

You know the microwave may have made this device less used and perhaps forgotten.

[sparkin]

... I'm tempted to say pressure cooker, but I've never owned one, and I don't know which part it would be ...

[bcd01]

... I'm tempted to say pressure cooker, but I've never owned one, and I don't know which part it would be ...

Sean, you have gotten the closest so far.

[sparkin]

I keep wandering into the kitchen, half in a daze, then wandering back out fully dazed. :confused:

Would it be used over an open fire, or on a regular range-style cooker, or neither ?

[bcd01]

Yes it is used on a range

[bcd01]

Let's see if this helps, if a girl went by and you did what it does, she might slap you.

[hqqns]

i think i know what it is but i have no picture to post :)

Something you might do "while you work?" :D

[bcd01]

i think i know what it is but i have no picture to post :)

Good, do you want to claim it?

BTW, what does the 'SUBBY' stand for?

[hqqns]

Good, do you want to claim it?

BTW, what does the 'SUBBY' stand for?

No I don't want to claim it :)

Subby is short for Subatomic wich is my old old (1996 old) internet name.
hqqns is subby upside down.

[bcd01]

No I don't want to claim it :)

How nice; I like

Come on Sean, I want to go to bed, I get up at 4:30 EST

[sparkin]

No I don't want to claim it :)

I don't have anything to post either, at least until tomorrow. But, I still have no clue what it is.

Does it blow hot steam, like an old-style kettle ?

[bcd01]

What do mean old-time kettle. My wife still uses it. Here is the dirty LeCreuset kettle.

[bcd01]

Good night all and Subby have a happy weekend there in Australia.

[sparkin]

Well ok, I was gonna say that I never would've guessed it, but it was a guess. I can't post until the morning, as my camera is at work. In the meantime, if anyone wants to post that is fine with me ...

[hqqns]

[jr#8]

wire pliers

[hqqns]

is it a tool?

[Ingerson"PCD"]

Not a tool.

[hqqns]

[Ingerson"PCD"]

There could be some grease there, but in this pic it is rust from lack of grease.
