As I sit here in my freezing home (24 degrees, and falling), I have come forth to entertain you once again.  Or, to at least massage your brain with this picture of some random mysterious object   Appearances may be deceiving, so don’t pop off with your initial answer without thinking about it!

Drop your guesses in the comments, as usual….

Drop in some comments, there might be a cookie in for the first correct guess

Recently I’ve been inspired by a series of shows on the Discovery Channel to do some research on certain facets of machinery.  It’s mind boggling the amount of interesting high tech machines that use low end tech!  Whatever gets the job done, right?

So here’s the image of the day – don’t stare at it for too long  

As usual, guesses in comments!

So I’ve been on hiatus for a while.  But regardless I’m here again to twist your minds with freaky pictures of things from right around us!  GRATS goes to Anonymous for correctly identify the business end of a Kendo practice sword back in March   Those things hurt!  I’ve been tapped by a few in my day…

So the images roll on.  Here is the newest in the picture bag for your guessing enjoyment!

Slam in your guesses in the comments folks!
