How many of you have looked at the close up?

Looks like a roll of carpet, maybe being carried by someone.
Elsie Duggan May 15, 2007, 11:46pm EDT
I looked at it about six times and it really looks like a birch tree limb but somebody said that in the beginning. I never get these things,
Rosa See Ya May 15, 2007, 11:47pm EDT
or maybe a finger got in the way of the real picture
Heather C. May 15, 2007, 11:49pm EDT
I keep thinking it's someones arm and they have a bad skin problem...I'm running out of ideas...
Elsie Duggan May 15, 2007, 11:50pm EDT
The ropes holding up a tent? or did somebody say that already.
Jessie W. May 15, 2007, 11:52pm EDT
I looked at the close-up, but it has rings on it that look like skin to me. I like CH's guess of a dinosaur neck or tail.
