I don't know, my dad always made us keep the pumpkin seeds when we were carving a jack-o-lantern. True, the food came from the pumpkin before it was transformed. Also true, you are being very nitpicky.

Game on,

Now an easy one to see if it is just that people are bored: Find me a picture of someone dressed up as some sort of food for halloween.

Dammit, I looked on cockeyed, too.

Is this okay?:

The person appears to be holding a basket full of morels (Morchella esculenta).

I am very envious...

How did I guess you'd be the one to get this picture?

It's certainly good enough. You're up.

Hmm... I have no idea

Alright. Find me a picture of a circular rainbow (No cartoons).

That was pretty easy

Find me...a picture of two praying mantises fighting (okay if faked, but it has to look good).

Game on,

What about this?

I'm not sure if this qualifies as "looking good" (or, for that matter, as a "picture" ) .

Hmmm...I actually meant a photograph. That is, either a photo of two praying mantises fighting, or someone who Photoshopped this together but it looks real. And yes, I do have a picture in mind, so at least one does exist.

Sorry for the confusion...your link is neat though.

Oh, actually, I wasn't accepting it...sorry for the confusion. I just said it was neat, not that it was okay. But to keep the game moving along, go ahead and put your own up. This is more like what I had in mind, although there are probably better ones out there.

Game on,

Oops... Actually, I didn't think it was accepted - I just meant that I wasn't surprised by that.

Though to be honest, the picture you posted doesn't seem very real to me - for one, the shadows are all wrong. And then, those are really big mantises. And both praying mantises are supposed to be black belts, but anyone can see that the one on the right is the vastly superior fighter ...

Anyway, since I got passed the baton a bit undeservably I'll keep it easy - find me a photo (real) of a flying fish.

Now, find me a picture of someone with many many hot dogs in his mouth.

The picture I found is a bit small, so here is a link to the page it's from which makes it clear what is shown.

Find me a man or woman playing more than one musical instrument at the same time.

I guess that's okay given context, but I was sort of hoping for a picture of the guy who can dislocate his jaw and stick 40 hot dogs in his mouth at once. Saw it on Ripley's Believe It Or Not once

Just to clarify, do you count the voice as an instrument? Many people that I know do.

Jackpot! Just the photo that gave me the idea, DiMono. It's your turn with your snow angel-making moose (nice idea ).

Yeah, the one I'm challenging with will be hard, but I'm trying to draw attention to a really great website that houses just such a picture.

Hint: it's a cartoon, not a real moose

It's weird, at the top of the browser window it gives the www.snopes.com address, but the link in the address bar is this: http://www.ulrp.com/club21.gif . So I don't know why it redirects me. And this is on two (edit: now three) different computers, although all are Windows XP running IE 6.
