The makeashoerterlink is still working for me - it does pause before redidecting, maybe it's a bit sluggish.

Aha! Thanks sjm that time it did link me. I thought I was suposed to click on something so I probably confused my computer. My vote is split: pencil on a uselessly short string or thingamajig.

Is this the one?

Looks like a pen on a very short string to me.


Yep, you got the picture, all right.

I would agree with Bill that it's a pen, but I don't see how it would be suspended that way and still be useful, and I have faith that artists are relatively faithful to their subject. Can anyone confirm? You recognize it because Grampa had one on his desk?

Does anyone else have the sneaking suspicion that the author popped that thingie in the picture to make us curious?
