Hypography Mind Experiment #2

[Doktor Faust]

This sounds interesting. I'd enjoy venturing a guess. These experiments always intrigued me.

 

I say it's a playing card.

 

. . .Or a CD. Wait... that's two guesses. :3

[Tormod]

it's turtle! the resident mathmagician. nothing to worry about.

p.s. tormod i already said leaf B)

 

Yeah but your leaf is ugly, mine is pretty. B)

 

 

Okay, then. It is a slide ruler.

[Queso]

we'll see mr. T. B)

i'm going to guess it's a sexton. hey it's a longshot, you never know...

The Amazinfg Randi offers a cool $million to anybody "who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event,"

$(US)1,000,000.00 is apparently insufficient motivation for any adept to come forward.

This clearly proves that the paranormal are not materialists.

 

Or else they are just bad at math.

___Well, it's Sunday somewhere in the world, I've had some beers, just found out I have to move, so without further ado, ladies & germs I present you with my scanned object. You may view it in the Gallery, here:

[freQ]

so it's a cat turd? :eek:

 

YOU PUT A CAT TURD ON YOUR SCANNER?!?!?!?!?!?!? :xx:

[Turtle]

___No, no, no...it is a coprolite...a fossil that is 10's of thousands of years old. It is a mineral cast; solid rock; petrified poo. It sells for $10 a pound or more in mineral shops. I collected about 10 pounds a few years ago from a mud deposit in West Central Washington. Google "coprolite" . I see E-Bay had some but I didn't check prices.

___As to the mind experiment part; it is NOT a leaf. Sorry Orby & Tormod. But, I remind you what our skeptic Fishteacher said, "There are probably two areas that this could fall into for you Turtle. A) Probably a random found object with no connection (ie litter, a flower, volcanic ash, etc". Well now, I guess it's litter & it's not ash but it is mineral so Fishteacher is right as anyone but credits smart guessing for it.

___At best we have only proved Fishteacher is pretty sharp guesser. Well, that concludes the mind experiment #2. As I have to move away soon it's likely the last. (Unless you see something else in the future for me? :eek: )

Turtle? Leaving? are u serious?

 

:eek:

[freQ]

:eek:

 

LOL...I actually never presumed it was, in fact, a cat turd. =) But I couldn't tell what it was so I thought I'd play the redneck (I'm from the south...so I usually get away with it). I have a tendency to wax comedic (and in this case...."commode-ic") and thus my answer.

 

Aplologies...=)

 

It was intriguing trying to guess...I stared at it for who knows how long.

___No offense taken. I never tire in the childish delight of plopping one of these stones into some unsuspecting visitor's hand. :friday:

___I may yet have a little time; the guy comes Tuesday to start inspecting. I'm leaving the 10 pounds of coprolites behind in the rock garden along with my other minerals. I will not move rocks again no matter how rare. ;)

___Did anyone catch the ironic double entendre of the title? As in "#2". I didn't intend that at the time either. Also, on the experiment; I deleted the original scan 2 hours after I madr it because I thought someone might hack Ace's computer to get the file & cheat.

___Anyway, a little fun with mind & geology science. :)
