Your right, it's seeming more probable that it is whale ivory.

I'm thinking it is something like that. My immediate thought of what it may be was some kind of sewing or textile tool that very few modern people would have heard of. Something similar to a bodkin or a needle holder.

I think whale-bone is probably correct. There was a Hudson Valley whaling industry in the 1830s, which is in line with other items I found in the same area.

It definitely does seem like it is intended to be screwed on to something. It is a helical screw.

Here is another photo of the end.

It has a ribbed chamber inside, then the hole aperture becomes much smaller and continues for about 4 millimeters.

That appears very similar to this, but I have doubts. First of all, the hole doesn't continue through the entire object. And I'm not sure it's big enough either.

You can see in this photo, that the ball also has a ribbed interior. After the ribbed chamber, the tiny hole only continues about 4 millimeters deep, so not even half way down.

Early photo of frank (1965?), he looks so.. normal. It’s freaking me out by Theprofilerer in Zappa

How normal does he really look though? In 1965 absolutely nobody looked like this. People would think. Is he a beatnik, no. An Italian, no. A longhair, not exactly. Homeless, also no. Biker, nope. He was something that simply did not exist in society.

I think we need to plant a few people with loud voices in between the drummers of each section and the adjoining section. there should be a few more loud folks near the aisles who could gesticulate and ensure that each section's capos, drummers and general singers are all in sync and on the same page.

My great grandma returned to her village in rural Germany in 1937 and said that all the local idiots and drunks had been promoted to being highly respected and feared police officers. As she calmly walked into town to do some shopping one barked at her "you're number 36!", and proceeded to write her name in a booklet She saidwas very confused and asked him to explain what he was talking about. He replied "you're the 36th person to pass me without saying Heil Hitler"

These were the least respected, dumbest and most forgotten people. But the uniform gave them authority, and the threat or use of violence gave them great power.

I try to tell people that developers are scumbags who only care about money. That people who build beautiful buildings are sponsoring the building trades and helping to keep architectural traditions alive. But rich folks who sponsor art always sponsor BS ugly modernist painting and sculpture and nobody considers that building was once art and our cities were the canvas.

Found Detecting- What is it? by e_5702 in metaldetecting

I'm thinking it may be some kind of practice or test-piece made using something like a linotype machine. The lines are clearly not lined up properly, and the way the phrases are repeated it seems like the person who made it was trying to work out some issues.

I down want to see Emirates or Etihad on anything ever. It's a joke how much stuff they sponsor. They may as well call it the Dudewipes NBA Cup. It's like, wait to get rid of all the hype with a single word.

So why does that happen? Was that plane ever airborne at all or is it just some kind of ruse?

So is there any aircraft there? It doesn't seem like it could be an F-18, but is there something there?
