What is it?
« on: May 18, 2013, 07:25:15 PM »
I thought it was an inverted Apollo space capsule when I first saw it.

(hint: it IS government-owned)

I'll post the answer at another time if no one gets it.

Yep - it's the "Pothole Killer", as you can see on the side of the truck under the "County of Bergen" sign.

You're pretty close............... it's an original pinus coneus paramusus that was found on the grounds of the original factory - a place called "Bergen Pines".

I would have bet a dollar that it was something that a food vendor was hawking at the Holy Trinity carnival.

I never saw one of these before, but it wasn't hard to figure it out. Of course, I'm not providing the context - which makes it easy - but if no one gets it, I provide that in two days next year.

Besides being the entrance to 29 Linden?

I doubt anyone has seen this effect before, but it should be pretty easy to figure out.

(first seen while I was in the kitchen washing dishes)

No guesses on the above, huh?

It's fairly simple, but I'll have to get a VHS tape digitized to illustrate what it was.


Meanwhile, I shot something a couple of weeks ago that I really have no idea what it was...............a log? A capsized canoe?

A half-hour after I took the first picture, it had hardly moved, so I took another shot and blew it up as much as possible - not a log or a canoe.

An hour-and-a-quarter after the first shot, something looked different, so I took the third shot. It appeared to have broken up, but I still don't know what it was.

Any ideas?
