W.O.F. 12




This week's Weird Object Friday object comes from El Salvador. Our son brought it home to us from a mission trip there during spring break in 2007. It is ceramic and clay-like. It is maybe seven or eight inches long. It is home made by....someone. It is sort of armadillo-like. It has interesting cuneiform-like triangular stuff going on. I am not sure what species it actually represents. But it has that rough quality that makes it one of a kind. So there it is.

It does look like an armadillo. Keep him away from Margaret's Hippo. I think the Hippo may be a biter.

Good point. They are 420 miles apart and we'll try to keep it that way for the sake of both.

It's a geodesic ant-eater. OK, it's late, and I'm punchy. I was at the O's game with Marianne and Lisa until a few minutes ago.

Who wants to eat geodesic ants?
(It's later and I'm punchier. Five of us, including to parakeets, just sang happy birthday to Dad - well, not "just". Three hours ago).

It is interesting that you and Margaret are 420 miles apart, but both of you pick animals created in foreign lands on the same day. Some might call that "weird".

Some may call US weird...
