So....What is this?

Only on PH

I don't have any pencils, but it's sitting on a piece of A4...

I wager its something you firmly wedge in to your anus.

Unless I am mistaken, it is a picture from a camera.

HTH

It's actually a jpeg, taken from the Internet.

"The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power dumped 400,000 little plastic black balls into the Ivanhoe reservoir this past Monday (June 9th). After reassuring local McDonalds owners that they hadn’t raided every Play Place within a ten mile radius for their 4 inch plastic balls, the DWP said that they were just a first batch of what would ultimately be 3 million balls dumped into the reservoir.

No, this isn’t the DWP’s idea of a really, really late April Fool’s Day prank. Nor is this the result of a bunch of bitter, disgruntled employees making a statement in a bid for higher wages or better benefits. To the best of my knowledge the LA DWP consists of a highly gruntled work force.

Rather, the black balls are intended to cover the more than 7 acres of surface area of the Ivanhoe reservoir to shield it from the sun. Sunlight can act as a catalyst to the bromide and chlorine in the reservoir, which can then produce the carcinogenic bromate."

It's a clampy swively thing

It is - but what does it clamp on, and what does it allow to swivel?

It is either a bike light clamp or the joystick from an electric wheelchair...

Stephen Hawking?
