[eelixduppy]

I really hope this is hard enough; it was kind of a last minute thing. :)

What am I? [i131.photobucket.com]

[lawman]

Klingon coaster

[lawman]

Or maybe one of those thingys you squeeze pastry through.

[eelixduppy]

nope :)

[pageoneresults]

Is that some sort of washer for a special bolt/screw, etc?

[eelixduppy]

Closer, pageoneresults, but not exactly.

[pageoneresults]

Is it made of cork as it appears?

[pageoneresults]

A diaphragm of some sort?

[lawman]

Spacely sprocket [en.wikipedia.org]

[Leosghost]

tap washer ( sealing type )

[eelixduppy]

None of the above, and yes, its made of cork. (I had to check :))

[lawman]

Non-functional optical illusion

[Leosghost]

by "tap" I mean faucet ..I have a box of these for my shower faucets some even have stainless steel sprung cages ..

@ M it looks like the old bad words filter from foo :)

[pageoneresults]

Is it used to provide a seal between two objects?

[eelixduppy]

Well...yes and no. It's between two objects, not for a seal, though.

[lawman]

In the original iteration of the Gizmo Quiz, we used to get a Funny Picture [images19.fotki.com] for a funny answer. I guess I'm just not funny enough. :(

[Leosghost]

anti vibration washer ..

[eelixduppy]

Leosghost, could you find a picture of what you are talking about. It's definitely not what my picture is of, but I'm interested to see it. :)

[added]
...about the faucet :)

[lawman]

In honor of the originator of the Gizmo Quiz (Macguru) I hereby give myself THIS [images18.fotki.com] funny picture. :)

[lawman]

I'd like to see how it worked.

[eelixduppy]

Nice work, jecasc!

haha, lawman, nice one! I use those all the time! ;)

So, jecasc, hosting for next week?

[pageoneresults]

Cork Yoyo Brake Pad

Congratulations!

Even though it was discovered somewhat early, that was an excellent gizmo.

[jecasc]

Sure. No problem. I'm looking forward to host next week.

I hope I can find something out of the ordinary like this weeks gizmo.

[lawman]

Don't forget to stock up on funny pictures.

[eelixduppy]

Well done everybody. Again, congratulations to jecasc for winning this week's game!

I have some things to do; see everyone at next week's game! :)

Thanks for playing

[Leosghost]

Leosghost, could you find a picture of what you are talking about. It's definitely not what my picture is of, but I'm interested to see it. :)

found lots of other stuff in my garage ( even a spare toilet ..french ..once owned by Brigit Bardot ..honest guys ;-)..what'll you offer? buyer pays shipping :) ) but not my shower washers ...either Mrs Leosghost has moved them ( which will be vehemently denied when I ask her later ) ..or I'll have to get one monday ..take a photo and sticky mail you a link ..

yoyo brakes have to be a sign of engineers having to little to do ..
