Here's last Wednesday's picture:

And this is what it was cropped from:

This is the other side of the statue:

It's a statue remembering the victims of the Irish potato famine. Apparently there are a couple of these statues around, one in Boston proper and this one in Cambridge. Hmmm...

Anyway, there were some funny and creative guesses last week!!!

- Carl: "Looks like that hand of some ghost pervert, reaching out to goose some poor unsuspecting lady waiting for the subway." Kinda!!!

- SwordGirl: "It looked like an asteroid at first being viewed in a movie theater with the red movie lights below." Can't get more creative than that! Did any of you see that? I did, after she pointed it out LOL!

- Lisa: "A creepy hand reaching out from the great beyond to cop a little feel just one more time." What's on y'all's minds??

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?

O-R-E-O! I'll have a glass of milk too please. :)

The top of a chocolate sandwich cookie?

First thought was a quilt pattern or something like that. Then I saw the first answer and kmew immediately that I'm wrong again. *sigh*

An iron fence!!!!!

are you the gate keeper?

oreo.....or the top of an manhole....can I guess twice?

My first thought was an OREO, too. Then another thought crept in - a cast iron waffle plate. Hmmm, which to choose?

A knock off brand of Oreos?

It's an attempt at a crop circle, only it was created in a muddy field with no actual crops growing there (so they had to build up the mud into ridges instead of cutting down hay) and it was created by a very girly bunch of aliens, which is why it's so flowery. (Sheesh, it's SO obvious!)

I thought it was a brown coin of some sort or a wood carving - but then I peeked at the comments, and I think the cookie is right! :D

a cookie! one I'm about to eat if you don't before too long.

It's the design off a Dutch spice biscuit.

Back to last week - my ancestors fled Ireland at the time of the potato famine. I never knew there were statues commemorating that time.

Wow, I love Oreos!! My Mom used to buy me a package to hide in my room so my brother and sister wouldn't get them. They found them anyway.
I thought at first that it was some stone work on a building or some design on a family bible.

A manhole cover.

Looks like an iron to steak and create patterns on a kind of dry cakes - in local language it looks like a "Goro Jern" but the patterns are different.

If not, it's a crazy table tennis racket.

I am not sure it is an Oreo bc Oreos say Oreo on them...don't they. So it might be a cookie....but I am guessing a waffle iron

or a pizelle maker

Another easy underhand pitch......100% confident of this being an Oreo cookie!!...........:-)

An oreo cookie! Come on, make it hard! LOL

I think I'm going to guess that it is a pizzelle maker. The inside that makes the design...

*staggers in for a small visit*

...a cookie? perhaps an Oreo, but...

*goes off to collapse on the nearest handy divan*

I'm a bit late getting here this week, but it looks like the pattern on a chocolate sandwich cookie to me. Either that or I'm just really hungry for Oreos right now. :-)

I think it's the top of a chocolate sandwich type cooke too!
