my teacher has been considered to be odd, it wouldnt suprise me much if it was a little off subect... the past 2 questions were:

who was on the $500 dollar bill?

and what is this man's /pic/ significance to our class? (pic was of the green party's nominee for president)

this one was a little different... heres the exact wording of the question he has never put quotation marks around importance of or w/e so that might be a clue) he also stated it was an OBJECT which contridicts many people's belief that it is a political party's icon:The first student to email me "the importance of" the object shown above will receive 7 pts extra credit (7/0)

are you allowed multiple guesses?

Alright, I may be way off with this idea but here goes. I was trying to think of terms of history and related ideas so.... how about that picture represents the idea of America and the "melting pot". We are one nation but is habitated by people of many colors. In another words, the black egg looking thing represents our country and the various colors of the wires represent the many different cultures/races that are part of our country. Just a thought, I may be way off on that one.
It's either that or a old school nerf football

i just did, and he hasnt said anything about not being able to send multiple answers in.... i sent in 2 but i wouldnt push it by guessing everything

[marvin-martian]

[shunut]

Thats a great answer and if claus sent that in, I'd give him extra credit for it.

its clearly a phallic symbol containing all the colors of the rainbow representing gay pride? the wires are stripped at the end to show that it is unsheathed and out and ready... everything is a phallic symbol to my english teacher

[claustrophobia9]

"class, to me, that look on your face when i say "we're having a test" as a phallic symbol, and that groan you let out with it... well we wont get into that"

i was going to say that same exact thing. That is probably one of the meanings of this picture.
