@richardsheridan @SmithsonianRoulette I think the bot has a favourite!

@sundogplanets Pretty sure this one turned out to be SpaceX too https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-29/space-junk-found-in-nsw-snowy-mountains-paddocks-/101277542

@sundogplanets Fining for littering from space has been done before. Not really effective though. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-12/four-decades-on-from-skylabs-descent-from-space/11249626

@mem_somerville Nice!

@mem_somerville The angle makes it look even bigger and somehow mounted on the building! It'd be truly ominous if it were that big!!

@econads@mendeddrum.org@mendeddrum.org @SmithsonianRoulette@zirk.us@zirk.us It is indeed a dish.

If you look on the link, the item is a vase, but the bot seems to have picked the picture of the dish that belongs with (goes under?) the vase.

This sort of thing turns up from time to time, and given it's a random selection I'm not sure how it would be avoided.

@punkpaleo would you mind if I used this to base some craft from?

this is about as close to #caturday as I'm likely to get anytime soon.

@john @TetZoo Had a question from the younger folk in the household, which I'm stumped on. What bird has the longest arms?
Lots of stuff out there on wingspan, wing ratios, etc. but not a great deal on arm length or arm-span. Any thoughts?
(Pointers to papers welcome.)

@mem_somerville I can not imagine how you would keep that number of bobbins in order!

something like, "Thy godlike crime was to be kind, to render with thy precepts less the sum of human wretchedness and strengthen man with his own mind."

@auris in english lace rosengrund is honeycomb ground. (though you don't have a lot of it there because of the diamonds! :)

I know it ought to be rose ground, but in english lace that's something like this, which in German lace ought to be Rohrstuhlgrund.

@mem_somerville Those really itty-bitty bells!

Most of the cat is there now. Ears to go, then onto the net.

@mem_somerville Colorful yes, and also fun to look at. Well done!

@deedend Not going to be near Melbourne any time soon, but L5s are definitely usable in this part of the world.

Time to get back into #WIPWednesday practice. This is my current piece, which eventually be a black cat that has got the cream. #bobbinlace

@llewelly @john They've probably done it, but didn't think it was unusual enough to say anything. That's the step that needs an artist.

Two things that are important in my house atm. A number and a colour. #bobbinlace
