Sorry I can't manage to take a laptop under my bed right now. However I opened a browser window with the picture of a similar item to the mystery object in it next to the one with Wibbles and the rest of your psy-warriors. Hope that helps, they seemed to be looking at the picture mighty intently anyway...

An elegant solution. Thank you.

And if you could manage to spare a few treats for Wibbles, Shep, and Houyhnhnms, I'd appreciate it. You, of course, have dog treats, and Houyhnhnms likes (like?) carrots and apples. Thanks. Vitiates their channeling powers to work on a empty stomach.

It's clearly a telescope then!

(I know you said only one guess per person, but the voices in my head have been talkative lately and this must mean that I have super psychic powers..)

Well, I do have insist on no more guesses clairvoyant detection from one person at some point I suppose. Seems at least Mr.Samsa and Jerome have been a bit keen...

So far no hit from anybody, obviously. But not to worry, there's still 21 days to go (I know that takes the dealine a bit past Christmas but I can't be arsed to check the forums during the actual holidays so you get a couple of extra days on the house).

I tried to offer Wibbles some kibble but he didn't seem to want any even when I pressed them to his nose which almost invariably starts the nibble refex in my dogs. Maybe he's brand conscious, or just a fuzzy eater. I now have a keyboard full of dog kibble and a screen full of greasy smudges. But it's for a good course so I'm not complaining.

The bagged corpses of your victims.

Nah, there's still room in the freezer.

Yep, not to mention in the backyard... The perks of having 3,600 square meters of land property.

I've got about 4,000sqm, but after the first 10cm or so it's all shale - hard to dig in.

Well, I do appreciate your trying. Wibbles can be a bit of a pill now and then - chihuahua temperament and all.

My team seems to think it's fun ('tis the season of mirth, after all) to withhold their information - maybe right up to Xmas. I may have to go to Level 2 interrogation techniques if they keep holding out on me. Will get back to you soon.

Tried I Ching. Got tenth hexagram, Lü, Worrying the Tiger

Heaven shines down on the Marsh which reflects it back imperfectly:
Though the Superior Man carefully discriminates between high and low, and acts in accord with the flow of the Tao, there are still situations where a risk must be taken.

You tread upon the tail of the tiger.
Not perceiving you as a threat, the startled tiger does not bite.
Success.

SO i guess you got a tiger under your bed.

Well, my wife has occasionally called me a tiger IN bed - so maybe that's what you're picking up on.

So an astrolabe? I can't think of any reason why anyone would have one of those under the bed!

A motorcycle helmet.

And why is there no mention of cat treats in this thread, gentlemen? Eh?

And you are all male, aren't you? I'm about to recheck but I think this is another thread that has been eschewed by the distaff side until this very moment!

Something spooky going on, if you ask me. Oh yes.

ETA I see that Believeinhim and DoubtDispelled have passed through, so apologies to that element of the sisterhood

It's a life size replica of Jame's Randi holding check for a million dollar. When do I get my money?

Maybe this?


Or this!


I bet it's a suitcase.

Its a portal to another dimension I betcha.

I will use my ultimate psychic techniques learned from the parapsychology works of Susan Blackmore before she realised it was all bollocks to see the objects under BOTH your beds, with an accuracy of +/- 10%.

When you tell me I'm correct I will have proved PSI energy to be real and will happily collect my Nobel Prize.

That's a pretty cool bed actually.

But no, no portals that I can see hereabouts. Possibly it's something I cannot detect because I don't myself seem to have ESP powers of course, but I still have to call this a fail.
