    I've come to the conclusion that it isn't actually a coil or a spring as the rings don't seem to meet at any point!

    Which means they are just rings hanging off a bar... but I can't see what or why! Doh!

    Sneezy said before, that it is not something that is looked at straight on. I think a bunch of us were standing on our heads for awhile! LOL!

    I... am heading out to bed! 4am... time for my 3 hour nap!

    One last hint. It is now, 3:56 am for me. In the past 30 minutes, someone was VERY close of getting it.

    Night everyone!

    Ha ha, yeah, if you rotate it 90 degrees to the right you can see the reflection of the photographer (I think!)!

    Also, I don't think this is a very close up close-up... probably just macro mode on a regular camera!

    Come on people, logical thinking will see us through! Ha ha!

    My head hurts.

    Got to rest.

    Darnit, I know I'm going to kick myself when I hear the answer.

    Good luck everyone.

    Good night.

    Records in a jukebox? The thing that comes down and picks up bowling pins? The front of a car? Oh now I'm just seeing all sorts of weird Sh*ite!

    That's not a hint, that's just plain CRUEL! :D

    I'm such a sucker too! He's a cruel man... a cruel little man! LOL! I'll make him pay! Chance's are though... if we quit now!. Bushg is going to get up in the morn and answer in a flash again... urrrggghhh! Haha! The others weren't so simple, but this one seems like it really should be. ::growl::

    Was Sneezer trying to throw us off... are those vertical blinds in the background?
  • Aug 11, 2008, 01:25 AM

    Hmmm, the only things that were really mentioned in the last little while, (well 30 minutes before Sneezy wrote that) would have been an oil barrel (not) , a few other things too, and what Colb said. A kitchen tap. Could it be a magnification of a dish washer hose that you pull out from the top of your sink?

    I admit... I'm tired, but now this has got me pulled in again. Take what a say with a grain of salt... hahaha!

    Wait a second...

    It's not the rings that hold up a shower curtain is it?
  • Aug 11, 2008, 02:13 AM
    starbuck8
    Do you mean the graumets that are actually a part of the curtain itself? Hmm... I don't know about that... was a cool idea to think about though! Made me go back and look! LOL!

    Sleepy time for me! Waaayyyy too late, and my eyes are getting sore! G'nite... Uhmmm... can I just call you Hunter? LOL! We all have our nicknames around here. Nitey Night!
  • Aug 11, 2008, 02:21 AM
    iAMfromHuntersBar
    No, no, I meant the actual rail and shower curtain rings... Altenweg said "curtain rings" but I don't think that would be specific enough for ISF! Ha ha!

    Sure you can Starbuck! Night night!

    Call me Starby... G'nite! Had to take me dog Niki out for her final... uhhmmm... ceremony for the night... LOL!

    I'm awake... I see you little prettys were busy while I was getting my beauty rest. Congrats Alty!
    My guesses for this one are
    Telephone handset cord.
    Suspension coils.
    Water hose.

    They're all very good guesses... but not... just... yet.

    I'm heading home now. Keep on guessing. See you guys later.
