What is this? (revenge for belt tentioning tester)

02/07/2009 11:31 PM

Good morning all CR4rers.

This is a supremely engineered part of something that all of you have seen and possibly have not noticed. All I'll say, it is after the event and is obviously biological.

Have a go! I wonder what you guys come up with. What you see is only slightly magnified! You could even ask your kids.

Revenge for the killer belt tensioning tester! Have fun, Ky.

I know it has something to do with passion fruit, but I have no idea specifically what it is.

Anyone want to guess how I know it's related passion fruit?

passion_fruit_018_541E6E1E-E364-DCBF....................

Next time, save the picture as something like "drop bear toe fungus" or similar

If it's any consolation, I'd never have guessed. Please don't make me utterly jealous by saying they grow in your garden !

Thanks Kris.

We came second in two wars for a good reason. Watch your back Ky!! There will be a revenge for that bloody tensioning tool. Here it is the passion fruit.

Not that size matters.

Sublime engineering does!

Kris, I am not very savvy with computers as you have noticed. Sending a riddle with the answer attached!! It beats any stupid thing I have ever done, as far as I can remember and that does/can not mean much.

And yes, they are from our garden. Sorry about the glitch or what would you call what I have done?

Se Ya's, Ky.

Knowing a little bit of programming helps. Most of my training as a programmer was years ago, and in mainframes (COBOL, CICS, RPG,). They normally use batch mode processing. But I read some about Object Oriented Programming. In OOP, objects are reusable, and they have properties. Right-clicking on many items will bring up a menu that has "Properties" as one of the choices.

Ha ! I'm a complete amateur compare to most of the folk around here.

You'd never believe it (even I'm not sure !), but one of my neighbours has passion fruit (or is it flowers ?) growing. They kind of creep over the fence. Seeing the last pic reminded me. None very evident right now, but as I recall, they develop a roundish, orange coloured fruit. Haven't got the balls to try one (there's probably umpteen varieties), but the flowers are identical to the one you've posted. About the only thing I know about identifying fruit is to avoid stuff that smells of almonds. I'll try to remember to get a picture of the paasion flower later in the year, it looks nice even though I'm too frit to eat any.

Found this one in a Reading pub garden 25-July last year ....

... unfortunately, none were fruiting at the time, and I didn't go back when they were.

You've got the perfect excuse now !

I've just decided that taking an interest in gardening could be a good idea. If/when the summer ever arrives, I'll start some intensive resarch around various gardens. Sitting at one of those tables with a nice sunshade and simply observing seems a sensible way to start. I can think of a number that are free to visitors, but I understand it's customary to buy a drink occasionally. In the interest of furthering my knowledge, it seems like a small bar room billiards barden burden to bar beer bear. I'll half ? you've got to be joking ! have to green king grin and beer bear IPA it.

Not like the shriveled up things on offer that stops people from devouring them. I had a flock of cockatoos the other day. They don't eat them but love picking them to shreds and then fly off with loud screeching when you catch them in the act. Bloody vandals they are. I have a sling shot now (made from an old tennis racket). They only have to see some one aiming at them and they go to the neighbors place and cause havoc there.

BTW that timber is 100mm wide.

On vanilla ice cream! Nothing better! Wish you were here, Ky.

Just last week I revealed the magic of the wrist rocket to my 5 yr old son. I can not wait to pull the cat gut (sorry Del) out of an old racquet ball racquet!

I would like if you could reveal the same to me because wrist rocket is not stored in my brain.

I bet you don't know what a Chazza is. My for year old grandson knows because I revealed it to him.

Gosh, CR4 can be entertaining. Getting to know things that one didn't even know existed.

BTW the area of Queensland under water is about the size of Texas. If we can't have fun, why bother. Ky.

Google might not know but here in Australia we would call some one with the name Charley Chazza. Like in Daryl Dazza and so forth. It is meant as an endearment and you would not just call any Charley that.

With my name Ky even inventive Aussie have a problem. You could call me Kyzza but that would have other connotations. We also call it a Shanghai but don't aske me why.

You show me yours I'll show you mine, including ammo.

Grettings, Ky.

Is it true ? Wouldn't want to make any mistakes. Why can only one person eat at a time, is it some sort of etiquette thing ? Is Mrs Cat upset about the nut shells I left on the deer ? It could all go horribly wrong.....

I'll go with the innards of a flower.

I'm not gettin in on the Passion fruit debate. I fear I might learn more than I really will ever need to know about passion freet (what you didn't know freet was the plural of fruit?)

It actually looks a bit like that non-skid padding one would find under an area rug.Or maybe foam from beer as it is poured??

Ok, I have no idea.

This picture looks like the small projections called villi in the small intestine which absorbs the digested food . These projections help in increasing the surface area of the walls of the intestine and therefore quicker absorbtion. Hope my guess is right.
