The Charcoal Briquette?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
No to dishes, napkins and charcoal.

Oh, and I have given you a further clue...you might have overlooked it before. :wink:
 
The "Kiss the Cook" apron?! :-p

I like that answer, but no, that's not it. Okay, here's another clue. When you sit around with your buddies playing poker, you might use it then as well.
 
A meat thermometer? :smile: :smile: Now that I see your new clue, this is very funny. I don't think I want to play poker with a meat thermometer.

what is it?
Gee, why didn't I think of that. :-p
 
Nobody has guessed it yet. One of the guesses is getting pretty close though (but I'm not telling you whose). :biggrin:
 
Wow, I was sure it was the folding table. I guessed canned beer, but that wasn't until later, and you said it wasn't food. I hope the meat thermometer wasn't close.
 
Oh, folding chairs!? Brody & Surgwar, June 11, 1889. :biggrin:

If that's it, TheStatutoryApe can have my turn if you want it.

Oh wow. I tried that and didn't find it.
You can go ahead, are you logging off or something?

It wasn't, but I was having a good laugh thinking about what new meaning it brought to the game "poker." :smile:

No, but your guess gave me the idea. If you don't want it, I did just think of a clue.

It has four legs and is as tall as it is wide.

Hmmmm... is it a living thing? Lol... can we change this to twenty questions?! :-p
 
Eek, a clue already? You don't really need one; You only need to think inside of the box on this one. :wink:

Is it a square?
 
It was a square. How did it get legs?
 
it needed to square dance?
 
Okay, I'm leaving now and don't want to hold things up. It's a square cut on the diagonal, the legs being the legs of the right triangles. I guess TheStatutoryApe is up. Have fun!
 
:mad: that was a trick-ish question
 
Sorry, I'm getting impatient. Seems I'm on an odd sleep cycle with everyone else in this forum. Let's just remember that statutoryApe is up, but in the meantime, here's a googleable one:

Kahiltna
Muldrow
