It has a built-in storage case located underneath....

David, where do you find these strange objects?  :o  I have no ideas what this thing is.  :-\  I guessed  it's a device for inspecting the quality of coal, but the truth is, I simply don't know.  ???

Isn't that what those things are called when they check to see if there's a baby chicken inside the egg? Don't they candle the eggs in a proofer? Or is it just called a candler? Or is it called something ELSE? :laugh:

Now that you all know the "egg proofer" isn't the correct choice we'll move on.... ;) ;D

There's still 9 other choices and plenty of confusion up there for everyone! :D

And to think I grew up in Indiana! Sheesh! :-\ ::) :laugh:

You're welcome Marie! :-*

You know what I thought when I first saw a picture of that thing? I thought it looked like one of those card shuffling machines! Remember those? But I forgot to make it one of the choices. :)

I'm glad you saw it Sue! I saw you in here just after I posted the thread and I thought to myself "Oh, I hope she sees that second picture I just added"! I'm glad you saw it. I'm not sure it really helps or offers much information though. I guess we'll find out in a few days! :D

Never know Jess....David might be foolin, and that IS what it is.

When I saw "egg proofer" I thought it was something to see if eggs were good or bad (for eating).

But then again, Im a city gal... ::)

I chose a device for inspecting the quality of coal, Jess. I made that choice for a very cynical reason - 'cause it would be the very last thing someone from a BetterMost demographic would pick. But now I'm having second thoughts. It looks too clean to be a coal sorter. I still don't know what it is, though!  ::)

The numbers always intrigue me with these polls. 182 people have viewed this thread but only 8 people have submitted a vote!  :-\  I guess that means 174 people visited this thread but didn't vote!   ::)

Same thing's happened at my What Is It? thread. To quote an abbreviation I learnt here at BetterMost - WTF!   ???

Lots of those hits are guests and "guests". With normal guests I mean actual people who are lurking, but not logged in, therefore can't vote. And "guests" are so called web spiders/web-crawlers/web robots, "an automated software agent that gathers pages from the World Wide Web" (from wikipedia). For example, they look for keywords to categorize sites for search engines.

Also, in addition to guest/spider views, many of us have probably visited this thread multiple times.  I know I've checked in on this thread a bunch of times (I don't really know exactly how many), but only voted once.

How observant are you?

If you look closely at the phrase below, you will find clues to the winner of this contest. Remember, the devil is in the details.


Don't feel bad because there was only one lone winner this time. We'll have another What Is It soon, and you'll once again have a chance to be a star and win a lamb. So, allow for happiness to be your state of mind! :D


Can you figure it out?

I'm with Jess on this one!  If the lambs are a gift from Ennis and Jack, then surely we're supposed to guard our sheep and not eat them.

Notice I made bold the words Lone, Star and State....

Lone Star State.

Lone Star State = Texas.

And who lives in Texas?

JESS!!!

Yup! Jess won the contest! The object is indeed a MICROSCOPE SLIDE VIEWER. It is in fact a Bausch and Lomb Optical Company microscope slide viewer.



So, Jess gets a lamb from Ennis and Jack!

Notice I made bold the words Lone, Star and State....

Lone Star State.

Lone Star State = Texas.

And who lives in Texas?

JESS!!!

Yup! Jess won the contest! The object is indeed a MICROSCOPE SLIDE VIEWER. It is in fact a Bausch and Lomb Optical Company microscope slide viewer.



So, Jess gets a lamb from Ennis and Jack!







YEE HAW!!!!!

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

OH poo !!!

I wish I had looked at this one before.It is the only one I knew.We had one at University when I was doing optometry, along with a whole bunch of Bausch and Lomb instruments from ancient to ultra tech.They still make the best spectacle and contact lenses, and the best large optical equipment.I have just kicked myself as I had no clue about the previous two.
I am off to have a big sulk and a small tantrum !!!!
I know , very childish.
