What is this object?

[rewebster]

or Punicum granatum

 

[Gokul43201]

That would work too, but wouldn't be the preferred choice. Most plants are named with genera that are feminine (the Ancient Romans thought of plants as feminine), but there are many cases of neuter (any alpinum) and masculine (asteriscus) genera.

An active volcano as captured with, say... a UV-filter of some sort.

Bioluminescent bacteria (Dinoflagellates?) forming a 'milky sea'. I remember reading an article about that picture before.

Parents in perspective can be pretty funny once in a while, can't they---my, my...my

I guess that there's a choice (free will) then:

MI: "people watch for Hell to "freeze over"

CA: "Hell has been referenced when it is especially hot"


Evo, your choice, where do you want to go?

Ivan---

is that a big, giant dead seahorse?

Ivan---

is that a big, giant dead seahorse?

One that died after eating all the dinoflagellates?

PS: I thought you said 'sea monkey'. Seahorses don't like the taste of bacteria.

IF if is a big, dead seahorse (or monkey)---did it get that big from eating 'DINO' size flagellates?

 

[Gokul43201]

I've done some research on this now, and it turns out you were right the first time. He was a seahorse (a lonely, magic seahorse, named Snuff), and at first, he really didn't like how the flagellates tasted (like 3-month old cedar, with a hink of oak, and way too much salt, he used to complain), but after eating a few million, he found that they grew on him.

 

[rewebster]

Poor Snuffy (sniff, sniff,)----I wonder if they made glue or dog food out of him?

The [once mythical] milky sea is correct. As for the cause, we don't really know.

...The problem with the bacteria hypothesis is that an extremely high concentration of bacteria must exist before they begin to produce light," Miller told LiveScience. "But what could possibly support the occurrence of such a large population?" [continued]

Here's a fresh one (some details obscured to reduce Googlability):

What is it?

 

[Kurdt]

Thats got to be the Eiffel tower.

 

[Gokul43201]

Correct again! Can you elaborate?

 

[Kurdt]

The Eiffel tower has the names of famous French people around it, mainly scientists and engineers.

 

[Gokul43201]

The names engraved on the Tower, as a tribute gesture from Gustave Eiffel to the world of scientists, disappeared during one of its paintings at the turn of the century and were re-established in 1986 - 87.

Butterfly egg.

that's not a close guess-----











very GOOD--that IS it---I wasn't expecting it that quickly--I guess my hints didn't help though

a close guess will do for this game/test (gamete)-----hint: 2 O 's base(ball =sphere) = oosphere= egg

 

[Kurdt]

I have no clue what your hint is referring to, but then again I'm an idiot.

Dag nabbit. I thought it was an insects egg but the clue threw me off.
