MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Cathy]

Is it kids Play Dough... or the like?

[Tizer]

Not ambergris and not highly magnified. Nor is it play dough or similar. Keep thinking!

[Big Kev]

Looks like cabbage

[chinatyke]

Looks like a bright green foetus. Sigourney Weaver - Aliens - extracted from her abdomen?

[plaques]

The head of some kind of soft structured creature that has undergone some process akin to fossilization. Why is it green? the colour of the preservative maybe.

[Stanley]

Hulk snot?

[chinatyke]

[Stanley]

Knowing Peter's interest in the subject I suspect it's a geological sample. Something very rare!

[Cathy]

Well in that case I think it’s something to do with Jade.
Molten Jade... is there such a thing?

[Tizer]

Not a foetus, cabbage, snot, fossil, geological sample or jade. Time for a clue - looking back I see that I inadvertently dropped a clue in the first paragraph of my post that contains the image!

Whoops! Mrs Tiz has just pointed out that Cathy didn't just write jade, but `molten jade'. It isn't jade but she's spot on with the `molten'. Sorry about that Cathy!

[Stanley]

In that case, Molten Hulk Snot for stemming holes drilled for explosives!

[chinatyke]

Wax impression of your lughole for fitting a hearing aid?

[Stanley]

That sounds feasible China, I like it!

[Cathy]

A plastic explosive ?
Or packing for one.

[Stanley]

That's a possibility Cathy but all the plastic explosive I have ever seen or used wasn't green. C4 and 808 are both a tawny brown.

[Gloria]

Is it Lord Percys nugget of purest “green”?
Or
Is it the result of a bomb blast, hydrogen bomb maybe?

[Marilyn]

Anything produced biologically by Shrek?

[Wendyf]

Is it the last remnants of a bar of Fairy laundry soap?

[Tizer]

This is great fun - you're all very imaginative - but all wrong....except for Gloria (she's good at this game, isn't she? ). No, it's not `Lord Percys nugget' but she's spot on with `result of a bomb blast'. To be more specific it was melted either during a bomb blast or due to an incendiary bomb. But it's not just any old bit of melted stuff, I want to know what it was before it was melted. It might look like just a green blob but it has interesting history!

[Gloria]

Trinitite after the Trinity bomb blast?

[Tizer]

No, Gloria. It was something domestic and linked to a particular era.

[PanBiker]

Pompei and the product of melted sand or other material?

[Big Kev]

WW2 'blitz'? Is it part of a window from a church or cathedral?

[Tizer]

WW2 'blitz' is correct but not part of a window from a church or cathedral.
Ian, not Pompei but `product of melted sand' is right! But what is the identity of that product?

[Big Kev]

Wine bottle?
