Here's last Wednesday's picture:

And this is a shot of a sand dollar, altho not the one it was cropped from:

Michelle: "First I have to say HA I AM FIRST because I am never first. My guess is it is a sand dollar from the beach." T, Laura, Amy, Heather, MaryEllen, Tori, Colleen G, Colleen & Miss Meliss all got it right, too. Damn, you guys are smart!

I learned something this weekend...there are no sand dollars in Australia, New Zealand or Norway! Hence these comments: " Fossil? What's a sand dollar?" from Julie (Australia); "This week, it's clearly a squashed trilobite." from Shirley (New Zealand) and "Negative footprints or trilobites" from TorAa

On to the folks who made me laugh (I love you guys!):

First place goes to Lisa: "Markings left from dragging the dead bodies (from work, of course) down the beach on your way to Plymouth Rock last weekend. ;-)"

Village of Many said: "Aliens landed on the beach and left a message to all the humans in the sand."

Lee was both silly AND correct: " that looks like the mark left by aliens after they suck your brains out....or maybe it's a sand dollar? :)"

And another Lisa, who also was both silly and correct: "SAND DOLLAR!!!! Well really it is the marking left from Capt's Jack Sparrow's boot as he stepped off the Black Pearl. Have a great day!"

As always, thanks for playing! By the way, all photos used in What Is It Wednesday are marked as "private" in my flickr account...that's so no one can view the picture at a bigger size to get a better look!

So this week...

What is it?

The claw kind of staple remover ;)

I know this, I know this!!!! The end of a staple remover.

Or it could be Edward Scissorhands' fingers.

A stapler remover!

Or a steel dragon's teeth!

A staple remover!

HI! I am back. It could be a staple remover, I thought it went to something bigger. My first thought was ice tongs. I am really bad w. depth perception.

Have a great Hump Day!

It's a staple remover. (You will note that I only play when I know what it is. Or at least am fairly certain I know.)

ummm....is THAT what you used to pierce you nipple with??????

or its a staple remover

Please don't let this leak out to anyone, but it is the teeth of ONE WHO SHAll REMAIN NAMELESS. They are able to fly out into the air and attack on their own, razor sharp, strong as a bear trap, hard as steel and a real challenge for HP when he fights and defeats his greatest enemy with his most powerful magic trick ever, ( in the last book, of course).

I told you to get that dental work done for Wolf!

The jaws of a staple remover.

Staple remover, blah, blah, blah. I have to get here earlier on Wednesday...

The buiness end of your Capt. Jack bottle opener? You DO have one of those, right? ;-)

The teeth of an electric hedgeclipper left behind by the handsome young ripped gardener because his mind was elsewhere after an afternoon of .... oh wait, that was me.

thanks for visiting my blog today - I appreciate the comments on my oh-so-adorable son! My sister frequents your blog (Sue from My Life Such As It Is). I miss your old banners - the whole Snape thing....

CAN'T WAIT for the last book to come out!

A staple remover. I have to say I hope you tricked us all and it is nothing to do with staples or the removal therof.

Tonka toy -- part of a digging machine perchance.

Hi I'm visiting from Michele's - it's a staple remover, my kids love playing with those. Your site is just beautiful.

That's Snape's teeth when he transmogrifies and accidentally does the spell wrong and gets sent into the future where robots have replaced most people and he becomes a sort of robot monster wizard.....

Exactly "HOW" did you get your hands on my dental records Missy?

Stupendous!!! You snagged some early pics from the new Transformers movie. Cool!

A staple remover!

It's a staple puller! My mom's a teacher so I am intimately familiar with these little whoziewhatsits.

NOt first this week by a long stretch but it is definitely a staple remover

I think it is a ninja star that has been bent out of shape.

A lion's grill....heehee!

It's a staple remover!

Bottle opener?

Before I read the comments I was wracking my brain for what type of Vice-Grips these might be from. But it IS obviously a staple remover, dang it.
