day 250 - ROYGBIV - kiiro


Today's colour, boys and girls, is YELLOW.

Can you guess what this yellow object is? The iPod's just there for scale. Hint: No, it's not a nose-clip for a synchronised swimmer on Human Growth Hormones. (Competition open only to residents outside of Japan!)

I'm guessing that yellow thing is either a medieval torture device or some sort of toilet seat opener.

Very creative suggestions, Alan, but you're WAY off beam...

Ah well, thought I'd take a wild stab at it anyway. So what is it actually?

robwalkerpoet said...

I'll take one more guess...

OK Alan (and anyone else who cares), I'll put you out of your misery.
You know in these humid countries when everyone hangs their stuff outside to air or dry?
Well this is the Mother-Of-All-Clothes-Pegs for hanging out your blankets or futon so they don't fall onto the ground. Which is no small problem if you're on the 47th storey of an apartment...
