I just flipped back through his posts until I found one that had a picture (click on his name and you'll see how you can do that).
Yeah, I have no life.

I had suspected you did that. When I saw that the exif had the same img# on both shots, I figured you had gone through one of his posts...but I gave up looking after about 3 or 4 pages of his posts.

[BradT0517]

Congrats Epluim nice catch

[BradT0517]

[jr#8]

Confused isn't the word. The bottles don't look like that around here.

[Skrim17]

[Billbo911]

Single bristle from a brush?

About the Dr. Pepper bottle. That appears to be a much older bottle. I have seen them hundreds of times, but not for MANY years. I believe there is even a newer version with the same basic design.

EDIT:
Verified. This link explains it all.....well, mostly.
http://alamo.nmsu.edu/~lockhart/EPSodas/Chapter11/11e/chap11e.htm
For those that care, that bottle was in use from 1956 to 1960.

[Skrim17]

Good Job Bilbo! Its from a pet brush

[Billbo911]

Sometimes I get lucky;)

This should go quickly. (Ooops, did I say that out loud?)

[jr#8]

Not a lego,
Though it looks like some type of protective cap or cover.

[Billbo911]

Not wanting to be too picky,... I'll say you're right.

[jr#8]

I'll be right back with one.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Alright, I've got 2 guesses different sides of the spectrum here:

Is it either an old (elderly) finger or a plantain?

[Skrim17]

I was thinking finger as well Chris but I figured if it was close enough to see ridges wouldn't we see more scaliness?

[Nzshrimper]

tuna or salmon steak.

[Mike Bell]

Alright, I've got 2 guesses different sides of the spectrum here:

Is it either an old (elderly) finger or a plantain?
You are VERY close with the first guess but it is not skin.

I was thinking finger as well Chris but I figured if it was close enough to see ridges wouldn't we see more scaliness?
If it was skin you would.

tuna or salmon steak.
Way off!

[cfpackerfan]

So YOU'RE UP, CAT!

......... and your bonus prize is ............ well (since you asked so nicely) the photo I took my new avatar from. Taken in August last year while trying to get a nice shot of this bridge and river near my home. As you can see there was too much light difference between the banks for a successful landscape shot so I've never put them up.

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/157/342142103_2172135f32_o.jpg

[cfpackerfan]
