On the good side, Stucky, you always come up with imaginative and eye-catching posts.
On the bad side, you have wayyyyy too much spare time on your hands.

Stuck , the first thirteen were a definite challenge , but the last three where so obvious Stevie Wonder could have got ’em right.

That last picture is a close-up of a maggot. Really.

@ Stuck.
Be very careful about offending any creature that can bleed for seven days and still not die.

Okay Stucky… ya got me laughing… +1
I did pretty well… missed lipstick, the sponge and the cantaloupe … I knew that last one was some sort of bug-thing, but not a maggot… or that you called me a maggot…
What is it with you fucking with me lately?
You want a shot at the title, tough guy? Test your might, bitch…

You got Van Gough right??? And, spaghetti?? I ain’t buyin’ it. I think you like fuckin’ wif me … just as I do with you.
Even Ms Freud got three right; the eye, first snowflake, and cornflake. But, she thought the ballpoint pen was Mars. At least I ain’t THAT dumb!!

T4C — octopus vid is very very cool. There are a LOT of weird/strange living creatures out there. Might make a fun pictorial post some day.

One of the reasons I really love my job is that I get to work with some very cool rare Earth elements. Imagine materials that expand when the cool off. The only element most of us are familiar with that does this is water. I get to work with antimony, bizmuth, gallium and indium. These materials also crystallize when cooled. Although you can watch this process with your eyes alone, examining them in a microscope is endlessly fascinating. The way they expand when cooling produces textures and patterns I’ve never seen anywhere else in the natural world. Etching these materials in various acids produces still more textures and patterns that will blow your mind. We alloy indium and antimony and in the proper conditions little “worms” of nearly pure indium will “squirt” out of a cooling bar of this alloy is the mix is wrong.
Although these “expanding when cooling” elements are endlessly fascinating to observe, they are endlessly frustrating when trying to grow mono-crystalline boules from them. Actually the growing part is relatively easy but cooling them down to room temps without cracking is a real pain in the ass.
I also collect raw or rough diamonds which I incorporate into jewelry that I design. Because they will not be cut, I select diamonds based on color, shape, size, texture and lustre rather than the traditional qualities sought by jewelers. I always take these diamonds to work and examine them under a microscope. Whether I’m looking at a stone at the macro level or microscopic level the features and details continue to become smaller and smaller up to the limits of our equipment. Regardless of the features I select for, the features remain the same across all diamonds regardless of magnification. It’s very weird to look at two stones that appear so different to the eye look exactly identical under magnification.

You got Van Gough right???
Half right. I knew it was a painting, some flavor of impressionist. I guessed Monet… oops. So, half credit.
And, spaghetti??
I guessed one strand of fiber optic… so yeah, that one was wrong…

I actually got the spaghetti for one very tiny reason. You see that tiny little triangular shaped chip at 3:00 o’clock? Now go break a piece of spaghetti and you’ll see that same chip. On the opposing piece you’ll see the missing piece as a little point or spike.

Surprised you didn’t post a picture of your dick, it would have looked massive compared to a grain of rice.
