i see no problem with random posts as long as they don't get surreal

e.g a person posts 'A' the another posts 'B=2' then a third posts '3' and so on, rather then a person posts 'A' then the next posts '15'

although being one of those "creative" types i generally like thinking in a curvilinear way......

this is my best friends dog trying to take off her feeding hat....its keeps her ears out the way

Sorry I didn't realise my first submission would be removed (the second, probably!) Then again thinking about it, some pissed up bloke being woken up by a cold blade hacking his head off might be pushing the boundaries a bit! - even though the painting is almost 500 years old and created by a great renaissance period artist.

Any way, I'll try again:



can any one guess what this is?

just to put the record straight, it's not one of my testicles! (they're much darker in colour, and no one would handle those, even with a blue latex glove on!)

I thought it might be a breadfruit, but its too small.

looks like the back of an acorn to me, although its the wrong colour, mind you being colourblind does have its advantages

it s very old and normally is a very different colour!

Passion Fruit?

It looks like the Mona Lisa on a mouldy lime to me

A lemon!

choochi0, you're very close on the fruit theme...

an orange?

orange or tangerine

i said orange first!!!

an orange is right! A 117 year old orange to be exact!

A dried-up orange from the lunchbox of a miner fatally injured on the day he was due to eat it has gone on display in a Staffordshire museum.

The fruit belonged to Joseph Roberts who was injured in an explosion at a Stoke-on-Trent colliery in 1891.

It had been kept by his family but has been donated to the Potteries Museum.

Spokeswoman Deb Klemperer said it may just be a piece of dried fruit but the story behind it made it an amazing piece for the museum.

Underground blasting

She said Mr Roberts, 37, of Hanley, had taken it to work at the Racecourse colliery in Etruria for his lunch on 19 February.

Unfortunately, he was badly injured when underground blasting at the colliery went wrong.

He died in hospital leaving a wife and six children.

The lunchbox was one of his effects handed back to his family, who kept it.

Now his great-granddaughter Pam Bettaney has donated it to the museum.

The orange is completely blackened and dried out - the pips can be heard rattling when it is shaken.

"His death was just one of many of the tragedies of the time. He was just one of many who died while working down the mines," Ms Klemperer said.

Hope that was random enough! Another random pic please!
