1. CD-RWs? 🙂

2. Looks like a stack of CD-ROM media to me.

3. The side of a stack of CDs, like when you get the blank ones?

4. Well, my initial thought is a long coil of garden hose.

5. I believe it may be a computer cable if it isn’t a stack of CDs

6. A slinky at rest.

7. OK, I want to change my guess to agree that it is a stack of CDs but they are still in the plastic wrap.

8. Yeah, CDs seems much more likely. Or DVDs, of course. 😉

9. Bah! None of you have any imagination. Clearly, this is 3 microsecond exposure of green-shifted particle flux radiation orbiting a tiny black hole. Dawn has a warp drive in her basement.

10. Mike,

    You have to much time on your hands if your comming up with ideas like that. 😉

11. Rho, Nah. I just used to watch way too much star trek. Oh, and I’ve been trying to get physicists a question for me for ages. Is it possible to put photons in orbit around a black hole like they were in an enormous fiber optic cable? And if it is, can you “fill up” the cable? I think Dawn is testing this theory with her warp drive. 🙂

12. Ubertramp – you weren’t suppose to let on about that whole warp drive thing… just for that I have to award qy as today’s winner.

    You guys are good.

    See you tomorrow.

13. And that’s a Romulan warp drive, thankyouverymuch. They’re the only one’s nutso enough to embed an evaporating black hole in their engine core instead of using matter/antimatter collisions in a dilithium core.

14. Bah! Matter/antimatter drives are for wusses.

15. Beat to the punch, but that’s a stack of blank CD’s (or variant).
