What in the World is This? 03/29/2007
Clue Answer
Yes another eyeball, but this time it’s not the Mona Lisa. Do you know what in the world this is?
This is the last WITWIS for the First Quarter of 2007, the first person to get this gets 2 points, all others get 1 point, and again only your first response counts.
It’s a horse race between Restless and Graham to see who will be crowned the Q1 winner, and take home the new car, and vacation package to Hawaii. Well… ok … not that, but whoever wins will be famous and get their name in lights (well…bits).
Good Luck! We start a new contest on April 1st.

All right, I am going to take my guess WITHOUT having found the specific source image. I know it is a risk, but I have to stop thinking about this and get back to work. My guess is: George Washington’s eye from Mount Rushmore. There. Now leave me alone so I can go slowly insane at work!

I’m going to guess it’s Shrek’s eyeball! Seriously Porter, I think you jumped the shark on the difficulty here.

Statue of Liberty?

I thought it was Washingtons eye as well, but have no idea from where.

I knew that I would find it eventually. Not the exact picture, but enough to convince me that my first guess was wrong. Though really close! This is Abraham Lincoln’s right eye from the Lincoln Memeorial in Washington D.C. A great BIG picture that should be close enough can be found at: http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/~tskirvin/pics/trips/DC-2006/Monuments-2006.02.25/img_2897.jpg
Sorry for guess #2, but I have to leave this quarter of fantastic challenges with a clear conscious. Porter, you have done a great job with these challenges, and other than a couple easy ones, and the Britney shaved head debacle, this has been a LOT of fun for me. I am really looking forward to future challenges.

I change my vote to the Lincoln Memorial.

That’s easy! It’s Abraham Lincoln’s right eye from the Lincoln Memeorial in Washington D.C.

Graham got it, it’s the Lincoln Memorial. but it was his 2nd choice. and as per the new “Only your first answer counts rule” he doesn’t get the points, same for Aaron. Kevin was the only person who scored…. However… it was the last one of the quarter, it didn’t change the standings one iota, And Graham beats out Restless by one point in a squeeker… Congratulations Graham! You now get to see your name in lights for the next 3 months… Woot!

Thanks to all! Hey Porter, where is the full size image that you pulled this from? I think it is always fun to see the original, after the contest is over.
