If only more people were up to date on their ancient Sumerian culture they would relize this is a rare find indeed. A genuine Sumerian collander with hand woven flax lattice. Widely regarded as the first commercial success of the infomercial. Apparently only 3 easy payments of a chicken and a goat was just as hard to pass up then as it is now.

It looks like a seed of inspiration. Drop it in water, shake vigorously, and watch ideas germinate.

Obviously it is a water carrying device for ants. Note the honeycomb like structure often associated with insect construction as well as the reflective surface of a water drop. The ant makes excellent use of the surface tension of water to be contained within an apparent porous structure. Loaded upon a worker's back, it can be carried deep into the anthill for storage until dry conditions require.

It looks like a pollen grain to me. The barbs allow it to stick to your nasal passages long enough for the antigens to be released through the pores and create the sniffles. Otherwise, the barbs allow the grain to stick to another plant for fertilization to occur.

It occurs to me that it is an ancient sea mollusk.

This is a sign of extinct life on Mars. Speculation among scientists ranges from the leading theory that it is a religious artifact used in elaborate worship ceremonies to the widely critcized theory that it is nothing more than a discarded semi-circular locomotion facilitation device.

It is obviously a safe-keeping place for your third eye.

It is obvious that this is an embarrassed sea urchin--you can tell because it has turned itself inside out!

consider yourself lucky to be viewing a replica of the rare "the queen bee" exhibit. it is the remains of the honeycomb that used to be home to "rosanne", the world largest known queen bee. you can get a good idea of the sheer size of her royal highness by the size of her royal quarters at the apex of this renowned structure.

Granny May knit her spongy old nylons into a net to cover her homemade soap. The soap no longer slips from her hand when she reaches over her shoulder and the bit of abrasion gives a great little itch to her sun weathered back!

This is a radial warehousing storage system model adapted for use with the ISS. The central "eye", if you will, is a solar powering unit for items requiring a conditioned compartment.

It's a nesting site for sand martins, for where there are no cliffs!

What you see here is the birth of a button. Secretive by nature, buttons are very shy about their reproductive techniques. But here, mid-birth, you see the protective sack as it opens to release a baby button. The scale of this photo is deceiving. The actual baby button is microscopic. While this may be unbelievable to many, you should witness the birth of twin or triplet buttons. Nature is a fantastic source of wonder!
