We all love these guessing games, so I just thought of another one that might be fun.
Here's how it works, someone posts an odd picture - it can be a closeup of something, zoomed in fairly close, at an unusual angle or of something just strange. Then others try to guess what it is. Whoever guesses correctly has 24 hours to post another image or they can pass the privilege onto any one they want. After 24 hours, it's up for grabs.

If anyone is confused, it's pretty much just like the screenshot identifying games.

So, here's the first one:
[img width=700 height=524]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/DSCN0752.jpg[/img]

Is it ground beef?

It sure is. Go ahead and post another.

It was just a random guess :P . Someone else take my turn.

Sweeeeet

A nuclear explosion on the moon? :-\

It's the explosion of a fusion bomb. Frighteningly beautiful ain't it?

I see. I was fairly close to it. :P

I say you were close enough, post a new image.

It is much more difficult than I thought to find a picture of something that isn't obvious.

So, it's just a "weird" picture:
[img width=500 height=334]http://bblmedia.com/weird_male_tree.jpg[/img]

Sequoia that has wood.

Uhhhm, I have no idea if that's the correct answer but sure, you post a new one. :)

[img width=700 height=466]http://www.hydrobond.net/gallery/pictures/1/004.jpg[/img]

A jet engine?

A gas burner?

Some sort of fan apparatus?
(Just wanted to make a post with a guess in it.)

Cool idea we use to get some sort of magazine when i was in grade school that had blown up images and you had to guess what it was. I liked it then too.

How about a hint?

Sorry....  Forgot about this thread.  It is the exhaust end of a jet engine from the B-1.  NES_Rules gets the next post.

This should be fairly easy.

An eye up close. :)

Yep, your go.

I have no idea where to find pictures that need guessing, so I'm just posting something cool.

cain toad or some big frog thing

Good enough, your turn.

24 hour rule.

[img width=682 height=420]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/Itsnotapainting.jpg[/img]

A river that meanders through a mountanous landscape. In China, maybe?

Close enough, it's in Alaska actually.
I thought that one would be a bit harder than that though.

Forgive me - I studied Geography last year. ;)

[img width=380 height=507]http://ursispaltenstein.ch/blog/images/uploads_img/close_up_of_the_sun.jpg[/img]

A sun spot?

Yup.

lol
http://ursispaltenstein.ch/blog/images/uploads_img/close_up_of_the_sun.jpg

LOL :P

[img width=400 height=521]http://beconfused.com/images/2007/07/Strange-toilet-sign-in-Korea.jpg[/img]

Question: what language is on the picture? (besides the English)

Korean.

Right. Your turn.

24 hour rule.

[img width=700 height=467]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m84/BrokenFlight/Photos/IMG_1055.jpg[/img]

Licorice Snap or whatever they're called.

Licorice allsort and all nasty! :) anyone else can have my go

I forgot about this. It's a liquorice allsort. No idea what a liquorice snap is, so Mr Shrimp wins.

This is quite funny:

[img width=470 height=605]http://www.frederiksamuel.com/blog/images/strange.jpg[/img]

Question: name atleast 3 cars in the above picture(s).

I'll take a guess. The first silver car is a Nissan, the other is a Volkswagen, the cop car is probably a Crown Victoria, and I'll guess the gold one is a Grand Marquis.

Nissan 350z and a Volkswagen Polo. ;)

The goldie is a caddy if I'm not mistaken, or a really old Lincoln Mark VII or VIII

Those are correct but the question was to name atleast 3 cars. ;)  Otherwise it would be too easy.

First person to name 3 cars (brand + model name) in a single post wins! (may post the next screen :P)

Nissan 350z, Volkswagen Polo, and Mercury Grand Marquis (I looked the Marquis up and I'm now fairly certain that is right).

Correct, your turn. :)

This is probably too easy, but I couldn't think of anything else.
[img width=700 height=524]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/DSCN0895.jpg[/img]

US SNES cartridge.

Yep.

24 hour rule.

[img width=400 height=533]http://dellybean.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/lantern-festival-extreme-close-up-small.jpg[/img]

Lantern Festival wool!

Right! Your turn. :)

Dreamcast VMU controller slots.

^ You got it!

[img width=700 height=385]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m84/BrokenFlight/Havaguess2.jpg[/img]

I don't know what it's called, but one of those things you squeeze with your hand to gain strength.

Grip trainer, yes.

Next:
[img width=700 height=524]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/DSCN0930.jpg[/img]

The inside plastic part of a game console, perhaps a SNES or NES?

Close, very close. But not correct.

inside of nes system.
i pass (assuming i am right)

Inside a US SNES cartridge.

James got it.

What animal is this?

An equine.

Nope.

Camel?

A squirrel or a chipmunk?

Nope, nope, nope. :P

It's more in the equine/camel direction than a squirrel though. ;)

Yeah I was trying to look through the eye to figure it out. A mule?

Closer. :D

Donkey?

Nope. :P

An ass... ? :P

Which is a synonym for a donkey.

Lol, yeah they are!

Hint: they sometimes spit at humans.

A llama/alpaca!!! (They're pretty much the same)

Wow, that was an amazing way to give a boost to everyone's post count! :D

Lol, yeah I guess so. :P

Btw, your turn Feechy. :)

Someone take my turn. I just like to guess. :P

Found another one. :D
[img width=500 height=334]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/24/36269332_efdfcd514e.jpg[/img]

Same question: what is this animal?

Looks like a... coyote?

Nope. ;)

Common House Kitty.

We have a winner! :)

I have no clue where to find pictures... You keep posting. :P

Sure. :)

[img width=500 height=333]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3172/2727889968_42538250fa.jpg[/img]

What is this?

Looks like flexible conduit.

A drill bit? Mike's probably right though.

Nope. Don't look too far on this one.

EDIT: Not a drill bit either.

A length of solder wire.

Nope.

Hint: logical should know.

Hmm, I have no clue. Cat toy or something? Maybe even a shoe lace?

Nope.

Hint nr. 2: it's made out of metal and you need it for one of your hobbies.

Guitar string.

Shit.

I typed that, and hit delete instead of enter. blarg.

Yup. :D

Take my turn.

[img width=350 height=234]http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1613/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1613R-5052.jpg[/img]

What animal is this?

Some kind of vulture.

Nope.

I was going to say vulture. Some kind of hawk?

Nope, but obviously it's a bird.

K... A condor of some sort.

Nope.

Hint: this bird has a long beak.

Spoonbill.

Resisting the urge to recite Spoonman lyrics...

Almost correct.

Hint: there is one of these in the movie Finding Nemo.

Hmm... A pelican?

Looks like a flamingo.

That's correct. :)

Take my turn.

[img width=500 height=375]http://a2.vox.com/6a00c22523244cf21900cd978a65d2f9cc-500pi[/img]

What animal is this? (Say something more specific than just "elephant", for example)

It's some kind of house dog, but I have no idea on the breed. Maybe a Black Labrador?

Yeah, you're right. :D

I was expecting it'd take more than one guess to find the breed; nice guess!

It's an Indian Elephant. I can tell by the size of the ears.

You made me Lol in real life at my PC screen. :D

24-hour rule.

[img width=500]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c5/Coffee_close_up.jpg[/img]

Coke?

Nope.

Coffee. If that's right, someone else can take my turn.

Alright then. :)

[img width=500 height=460]http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumb_17/1123687995Qe48nN.jpg[/img]

What type of owl is this?

Picture's not working.

Are you sure, because I can see it.

I can't see it either

It's not working for me either, try uploading it to another image hosting site like photobucket or imageshack.

But I will still guess, is it a spotted owl? :P

How can it be spotted if you can't even see it ;)

Eagle Owl.

You guys are right, it isn't working for me anymore either. :-\

I just searched for a different picture, same question.

[img width=500 height=460]http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumb_17/1123687995Qe48nN.jpg[/img]

EDIT: What Feechy and James said is both incorrect.

I know it, but I'll let someone else guess it since I don't have a pic to post anyway.

A great horned owl.

That's it.

Two here.

tit and boobies.

Yes. It's a great tit.

Identify these two black dots.

[img width=700 height=700]http://www.hydrobond.net/forum/rfgeneration/noCheating.jpg[/img]
LARGE VERSION (http://www.hydrobond.net/forum/rfgeneration/noCheating.jpg)

Satellites? I have no idea.

While technically satellites in the loosest definition of the word, I am looking for names of the two specific items. 

Ouch, disappointment. :P

I'll give a hint later tonight if it hasn't been guessed by then.

Keep in mind, there is a larger version linked below.  It's not possible to tell in the small version.

Is it the ISS and something (a space shuttle?) that will attack to it?

Correct.  It's the Space Shuttle on approach to the ISS.

Awesome! :D

It was a wild guess to be honest, I just thought of the ISS because it's probably the best known sattelite of the moment.

Oh, when I said "attack to it" I meant "attach to it" of course. :P

Next one:
[img width=600 height=450]http://fishworld.com/img/032902/032902-107m.jpg[/img]
What animal is this?

Look like some kind of Decapoda, possibly in the infraorder Caridea. I have no idea on the species though.

RED OCEAN BUG

That's correct, it's a shrimp. But what kind of shrimp?

A pretty one?

A hint: The name of this species of shrimp is what you'd put in your mouth to have a nice breath.

It is near impossible searching Google for live shrimp, it's all recipes for shrimp.
Anyway, it's a Lysmata wurdemanni or peppermint shrimp.

Yup. Your turn. :)

OK, I actually have something this time.
What is this? It doesn't need to be specific.

The flower that smells like rotten meat.
Pass.
Who ever takes my turn no flora/fauna pics.

[img width=302 height=288]http://www.herbergpv.nl/Images/titan_closeup.jpg[/img]

What is this? (Doesn't need to be specific.)

Tile floor sample?

Nope.

Looks like solar panels.

A thing in a picture frame.

That's it! :D

24-hour rule.

[img width=310 height=230]http://www.motorfietskeuring.nl/img/tandriem-close-up.jpg[/img]

What is this?

Serpentine Belt, from a motor of some kind.

That was fast! :P

Your turn.

24 hour rule.

[img width=300 height=220]http://comps.fotosearch.com/comp/BLG/BLG012/close-up-rozemarijn-takjes_~016392BL.jpg[/img]
What is this?

Rosemary.

Correct.

What car is this?

[img width=700 height=465]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m84/BrokenFlight/Cars/itsacar.jpg[/img]

Rolls-Royce Phantom Tungsten

That is not the correct answer.

Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe

It would appear the Phantom Coupe is the production name for this one, the 101EX. Dad got a press pack for the 101EX a few years ago, maybe in early 2006. It came with a CD full of photos of the 101EX.

^I knew it was a Phantom.

Here is the next picture.

 (http://img26.imageshack.us/my.php?image=whatm.jpg)

An earthworm. I can tell by it's ears.

It is an earthworm! Your up.

Take my turn.

[img width=450 height=296]http://www.tweakers.net/ext/i.dsp/1023270178.jpg[/img]

What kind of chip is this and what does it do?

It does not look like a delicious chip.

Quite, I usually don't like silicon flavor

AMD 768 Chipset Chip, it powers the motherboard chipset. :)

And someone can have my go. :P

That is the AMD768 southbridge chip. 

The Southbridge is not directly connected to the CPU, rather, the northbridge connects the southbridge to the CPU. For this reason the southbridge handles many of the slower devices like the PCI bus, IDE (SATA or PATA) controller, real time clock, BIOS memory, SMBus, and can also have integrated components such as Audio codec's etc.

This is the answer I was looking for. Sorry logical. ;)

Your turn UNFORGIVINGPAIN. :)

Up next... I did remove the numbers off of the chip.

32X?

^ No it is not the 32X.

Could it be the Dreamcast modem port?

Genesis 2 board?

Hydrobond is correct. It is the Dreamcast Modem.

Your turn.

What is this called?:

[img width=640 height=545]http://blog.wired.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/05/29/ciws.jpg[/img]

A big fucking machine gun?

Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) nicknamed R2D2.

While in the Marine Corps, I spent some time on the USS Nassau and I remember being inside the ship when they tested the R2D2. I said something along the lines off "What the fuck is that?"

Correct.  Your turn.

Got that right :P

Next...

Onion rings.

Wrong, delicious onion rings.

Yes sir.

Good answer, but NES_Rules was quicker.

What is this (ignore the stuff being reflected in it)
[img width=700 height=524]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/DSCN0964.jpg[/img]

Laserdisc

Yes, but what movie is it?

Nah, I won't ask that.

I was really thinking that would take a bit longer than that.

It was a lucky guess.

Up next...

Cassette tape.

That it is. Your turn.

Take mine.

[img width=300 height=451]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m84/BrokenFlight/yummy.jpg[/img]

Since onion rings was already used, I'm going to guess calamari.

Calamari is correct.

Don't have time to find a hard one, so here is an easy one.

What is the name of this building?

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/90/Dprk_pyongyang_hotel_rugen_05_s.jpg)

Ryuyong Hotel (Thanks Mike) .

That's bullshit. No helping allowed!!! :P

Give the turn to Mike then. Gaaaaaaawd.... :P

That's right, it's the Ryugong Hotel in North Korea.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryugyong_Hotel

When you work out who's turn it is, post something.

Give it to Rob, he'll just start freaking out if we don't.

I only told him because I didn't have a new pic to post so it seemed a little pointless to post the answer.

Heh, I derailed that all quicklike. I was kidding, hence the :P face, geeez. :P
