[lawman]

A bird scarer offer.

Your funny [geocities.com]

[grandpa]

Secret hint... read the alt text.

[lawman]

Ha, an effeminate blow off valve.

[grandpa]

effeminate blow off valve

I'm almost afraid to ask... but no, it isn't.. I'm sure of that.

[bunltd]

I'm back - I had to liberate a birthday present from it's plastic packaging hell for my daughter.

[lawman]

Oops, I thought you meant the alt text of the bird. :)

[lawman]

Is it used in a weapon?

[Lilliabeth]

camera to find rare woodpecker

[grandpa]

It is not a weapon. The technology to find a rare woodpecker may be similar, but that is not the application here. Not a camera.

[Woz]

Is it a Gimbal used to align a telescope?

Onya
Woz

[grandpa]

Not a gimbal or part of a telescope. Look in the other direction.

[lawman]

Klingon cloaking device.

[grandpa]

Another clue. I found this gizmo while looking around for info about Daylight Savings Time. It has nothing to do with daylight savings.

[grandpa]

Klingon cloaking device

No! And neither is this [geocities.com].
