There goes my solar lamp theory as well! Is this an especially American item or is it also found in Europe?

OK. Does this item also contain glass?

Yes, plastic. :-)

I have to go out. Back in about 3 hours.

THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.
A 1-gallon plastic bucket. U.S. hardware stores have tons of them. Deciding on some answers was tricky because the other end of the bail (wire handle) connects to the same thing. The bail is vaguely U-shaped but is more squat than a typographic U, and the short segments that fit the holes correspond to only half a serif each.

Its usual place is in the bathroom to store warming-up water for cleaning surfaces and selective flushing. I also take it outside to get well water (yes, there are urban wells here).

OhLook, that was shear genius. The banality of the object, a macro view of a big object and forcing us to remember the old ways of narrowing the object down. I really enjoyed that one.

Thank you! You sound much more pleased with it now than when you had to sleep to recover from all that insane frustration.

I thought someone might notice that the blur increased toward the bottom and use that fact. The bail rested in front of the bucket, so that the focus got worse the farther from the right-angle bend one looked.

Less frustration, more that we are 9 hours ahead of you!

Sorry for the quality of this one. The brown is just my desk and not part of the object.

Does it rotate in the hole when it does whatever it does to earn an honest crust?

I think I got confused because of this question. I thought this was related to cooking lol.


That was a great shot, very difficult to guess.

Is the new item a tool?

Do you mean the dark brown, which is apparently both behind and in front of the white thing and doesn't look like part of any desks I know about? Or the peach-colored background?
