I was watering the lawn a few minutes ago and heard a woosh. I looked up and this thing fell out of the sky and landed right next to me. Should I sell it? What the heck is it???

i found something similar one day, was driving up i95n in northern maine not far from ca border, had a bag of gummy bears and was gnawing on them as i drove.
long story short, i reached in bag for another gummy and pulled out this thing, ewwweeeeee, it was hideous! didn't even pause long nuff to id it. just bit what i thought was it's head off and threw the rest out the window and watched it bounce off the highway in the rearview. sighs, i hope i didn't doom the area there to horrible gummy mutations by releasing it into the wild .... but i am definitely not going back to check!!!! the mib can do that .

Grass does NOT grow with only 1-3" of topsoil above it. Nice try. Try again.

Maybe it's some kids toy; the kid was flying on a major airline and playing with his toy in the restroom, it fell in, and woooosh, instantly frozen, when the "blue ice" block was ejected from the jet, toy and all. The toy then broke off from the block and landed in your yard. Did you wash it?

Haven't you see the commercial for the miracle grass product that grows on top of a cinder block?
What I wonder is why is the 2008 penny silver colored?

I managed to get a picture of The Evil Cheese Ball.

It does grow because I planted it my self from seed about six years ago.

It had a bad smell like vinegar but that has since went away. I did not wash it. I do not want to touch it. I have it in a small box, hidden away.

maybe it's a rehydrated space raisinette guy, flash frozen in space then petrified in freefall before it could thaw?
Well, a number of years ago, about a 2 hour drive up the road, there was (and still is, but not the same) a little shop called 'The'Soldier Factory', and they made a lot - and I mean a lot - of lead figures in the Dungeon & Dragon style. I've got a few hundred, from dragons to wizards to knolls to goblins to witches, you name it. I even made a couple of chess sets with them. This one looks a lot like something I've seen from there or have one of, but I'll have to pull them out and have a look-see.

Last month while enjoying some chips with my cranberry juice(yes, it was juice, not wine) I found an extra little treasure in the bag.
Not like a "prize" that you would get in a Cracker Jack box.
About 1" or so wide. About 1-1/2" long. About 3/4" thick. It was very lightweight.
It appeared to be a deep fried mouse with remains of little feet, and a tail tucked under. I did not eat it.
They sent me a prepaid envelope, so that they could get the evidence out of my hands. jk (as if I could ever prove where it came from)
Official answer was that by checking it under a microscope that it was an accumulation of salt, oil, and a "product" from the conveyor.
I watch "how it's made" on TV. Seems that this little gem should have been rejected somewhere along the line by the cameras/sensors/air jets.

Poor little mouse. It just wanted a cranberry to nibble on......

Only about 20 hrs left on auction. What do I do with it if it doesn't sell? What would you do with it?

I have NO idea what that is... but I am good at procrastinating when I should be working... just spent some time looking at google images for Pre Columbian male fertility figurines and saw some vaguely familiar images. Thanks for the diversion!
