Ms. Laura Mappin of northern California
correctly identified the above food object as a very old potato. She is
the very first person to ever correctly guess the subject matter of one
of our photos! This may be a direct result of her familiarity with garbage.
(See an earlier article, Genius
in the Can)
Some of the incorrect but fun guesses we received:
Raisin or prune
Fish skin
The skull/skin/eye sockets of a 1-month old
corpse (Hmph. Well, maybe that one isn't so fun.)
What they fed you at work for lunch today
The healthy lichen that grows on the sides
of rock faces 30 feet underwater in caves of Madagascar that divers
who are short of nourishment practice breathe/licking swapping their
regulators in and out as they grab a tongueful.
