    This is like 20 questions isn't it (or am I the only one old enough to remember that game?)

    Is it small or large
    does it have any moving parts?

    Some of my regulars have been very useful on here in the past identifying mystery objects.

    I've tried to find that clip of Patrick Moore describing an object to a woman on a gameshow who then tried vainly to draw it... but I can't :(

    We need some of that ;)
