Can you identify??

[Craig]

I found this on the ground and have not clue what it is and it is bugging me.  Does anyone know?



It has a hole going through the stem, threaded at one end.  And a threaded hole in the base (left of the photo) And it is metal, feels like aluminum.

Your description isn't too clear to me.  It looks like a crank of some sort (kickstand?).  How long is it?

[Craig]

Only about 3 inches long.

[Gina]

Well that sounds like it fits nicely in the palm of a hand. 

I just love a good mystery. 

Plastic or metal?  Looks like it's metal.

[Craig]

Metal

[dodrill]

it's an earring darling - now can you find the other? joking 

[Craig]

O.K I think it may be some kind of smoking accessory (probably not the legal kind). The ends smell like smoke.

[Gina]

Probably not the legal kind.   

[Gina]

Don't put that thing to your nose anymore, Craig.   

[Craig]

Don't put that thing to your nose anymore, Craig.   

Why not man?  It's cool....feels good......I'm hungry.

[Gina]

Well the truth is there are starving people out there and they'll do just about anything to not feel hunger pangs.  It happens.

[Gina]

(Love starved I mean.)

[Craig]

O.K the mystery is solved.  It is a mushroom key chain pipe.  The end screws onto the keychain and the top thread is for the bowl.

Well I was going to say it is probably going to be an airplane part. What happens when we find something around here we don't know what it is, my dad says parts fall off all the time. Lol. But I guess you found out the truth. Too bad.

You mean I've been eating shrooms all this time when I could've been smokin them?!  Dang.  Thanks Craig.   

Learn something new every day.

haha

(KIDDING!!)

[Gina]

And now for the biggest mystery of all!  How in the world did you ever figure out what that thing is?

[Dave in Tenn]

I was going to guess a handle to adjust some oddly colored mini-bllinds.

[cjwood]

I was going to suggest it was part of an alien space ship.

I was going to suggest it was part of an alien space ship.

Dave

That must be it.  It's part of an alien spaceship from a race that builds their spaceships from discarded drug paraphernalia.  How could I have been so blind?
