I'm going to give up on this one, however, I am reminded of an expression my Mother would use if she couldn't describe an item.  She called it "A wig-wam for a goose's bridle!"  I don't know if it was just her expression or summat from Yorkshire!   So that's my last guess!     _))*

If they are not rough diamonds it must be silica gel crystals,  or depending on magnification used maybe rock salt.

Title: Re: 'What am I' game
Post by: Trojan on March 21, 2011, 03:15:05 am
No, no, no, Bob was the closest with sugar.

They are, in fact, grains of table salt magnified 75 times.

Incidentally,the structure of mineral salt is as a cubic crystal.  A single grain of Kosher salt is composed of many cubes, stuck together into a big grain.  As a result, a single grain of Kosher salt can absorb much more liquid than a grain of granulated salt. Below is a photograph of a grain of Kosher salt, magnified 75 times.

Its only a game indeed.

Now, you can't tell me that the microchip is not some kind of alien technology recovered from the Roswell crashsite.

How can those colourful little strips of whatever do 1000's of calculations per second.  Nope, I'm not having it.
We are not that clever.  Hell, the human race hasn't even managed to make a convincing wig yet!

Ah. but I knew that at least one person would know that I hadn't moved far.  Won't mention his name.   ;D

Don't you flog a cream for follically challenged people?   D)

The other was  « Reply #1310 on: June 19, 2011, 06:42:17 PM »  just 1 minute later.  I was having a bit of trouble with posting it so it may just have replicated itself.   It is just another of life's mysteries!    :D
