Talking Silly, Off Topic Question
Ok, see the little guy under our avatar, the one directly under the percentage of weight lost?

What in the world is he holding? It looks like he is running away with a gigantic bowl of spaghetti, one little strand dangling behind him as he runs...

or maybe I am just missing pasta a little?

First prize goes to Penelope!

Yes, the green things represent a graph of our weight loss, and the little bloke is holding a tape measure. Pasta, huh? I've seen newbies ask if the boiled egg is an icecream - I guess we do tend to have food on the brain!

Hmm... Okay... Well, I never could figure that one out either, and it just didn't look like a guy holding a tape measure to me... So, I decided to blow it up in my paint program. This is what it looks like at 6x using bicubic resampling...



Okay... NOW, I see what it is...

Thanks so much for this thread. I've been thinking the little guy was portaging a canoe with water running over the stern! I read somewhere else that maybe it was a green bean!

Always nice to have one more of life's little mysteries solved....

Yeah, but it looks like that guy is wearing one of those funny hats with the big flaps that go over the ears!! I think maybe they need a better graphic

But "melting" tape measure!! Ha! That's funny!!
