What in the world is this? 02/12/2008
The Answer: Emerald City
Ok time for another installment of everyone’s favorite game show.
I’m trying my best to make these things hard, but not too hard. I’m guessing that this one is on the hard side, so I’ll give you a kind of a crummy clue.
Your Clue: Almost everyone in the English speaking world has seen this, probably more than once.
Good Luck!
And remember, only your first answer counts. First to get it right gets 2 points, everyone else who gets it right gets 1 point.

My guess is a bit of one of the Data Screens from “The Matrix”

Yea, too easy.

The Matrix droppy charchter thingys on the screen of their computer on the Nebekanezzar space ship thingy. (There is a slight chance that it’s the tranporter beam from Star Trek.)

Yea it’s so easy Aaron that no one has is it right.

Also note… If you guys figure out what it really is, it’s too late, you already answered, so if you come up with the correct answer you’ll only be helping those who haven’t struck out yet… like you guys did.

Looks like an Aurora Borealis

Honestly? I knew that wasn’t right, but wanted to see how many other lemmings there might be around here. Porter has been warning us for a long time that this might happen.

I think that this is an image through a night vision camera. Very likely the lights are city lights. More likely, the city lights are located in the Middle East. Extremely likely, the city is being bombed.

Ok here’s another clue for those who haven’t failed yet. Fred is partially right, the image is from a city. but..uh… it’s not in the middle east, nor is it being bombed.

golden gate bridge?

Graham already guessed then!
Is it the Emerald City?

I dunno Aaron, “Yea, Too easy” sounds like you were agreeing with my guess
Julia B — On 2-14-2008 at 11:05 am
My gut says it’s a screen shot from the Matrix. Is my gut correct? Time to read the other entries!
Julia B — On 2-14-2008 at 11:07 am
Wait wait - according to comment #5, it’s valid to look at the other entries and CHEAT? But, I can’t! This is why I never win anything. *stomp*
Aaron — On 2-14-2008 at 1:59 pm
Graham - Yea, I know it sounds like it, but my intent was to do that only to fool others into guessing as well! I think the rules stipulate that you have to type the name.

Ok it was the Emerald City (see new photo above) I debated for a long time whether to give Aaron the points. He is going to win, but on a technicality really, as I do believe he intended to agree with Graham in comment #2. Just remember going forward, an agreement with a previous comment is not an answer, you actually have to give an answer, so if it had been the Matrix, comment #2 would not have counted.

That picture is awesome. That movie was so far ahead of its time….they probably didn’t realize it either.
