    Default Cosmik Debris

    Something odd landed on the doorstep this morning. What is it and what can it be for?

    Cosmik Debris (FZ)

    The mystery man came over
    And he said "I'm outta sight!"
    He said, for a nominal service charge
    I could reach Nirvana tonight
    If I was ready, willing and able
    To pay him his regular fee
    He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
    And devote his attention to me......

    .....The mystery man got nervous
    And he fidget around a bit
    He reached in the pocket of his mystery robe
    And he whipped out a shaving kit
    Now, I thought it was a razor
    And a can of foaming goo
    But he told me right then
    When the top popped open
    There was nothin' his box won't do
    With the oil of Aphrodite
    And the dust of the Grand Wazoo
    He said "You might not believe this little fella,
    But it'll cure your asthma too"



    Now then. This could be a stroke of genius or it could be an utter disaster. I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. But, just for fun & because I simply don't know what's going to happen next either, I'm going to keep you guessing too.

    I'll post one photo a day while we work out what this mysterious 'thing' is.....answers on the back of a postcard please.

    DAY ONE
    Postie delivers a tube, just over 1 metre long. Postage cost: £3-ish




    Any guesses?

    Is it another cardboard tube with a diameter slightly smaller than the outer tube?

    Russian Doll tubes then - with a drinking straw in the middle!
    No, that's not it - it's much marginally more exciting than that.

    Well, that's a pretty good start - you got the material correct Dave. The cosmik debris is certainly made of aluminium.

    Is it some sort of magical cable?

    No, I don't think aluminium cuts the mustard as a good electrical conductor.
