wheetree Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Okay, my wife noticed it. I'd never paid any attention to it before. What is the icon supposed to be that shows up when you hover your pointer over "Getting Started" on the GC side-bar menu? I agree with my wife, it does look more like an open casket than anything else. Quote Link to comment
+PastorDIC Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 my guess would be a pirate's chest Quote Link to comment

+Maingray Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Maybe the sperm in the "Resources" hover would be better suited for "Getting Started". Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Never noticed that. Is it supposed to be a file cabinet? Quote Link to comment

If you've ever looked in a fish tank, it looks just like the treasure chest aerator that is in a lot of those tanks.... Quote Link to comment

+Sputnik 57 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) I don't see what all the fuss is about. It is patently obvious to me. The dome-shaped thing on top is a skylight. Probably tipped at an angle just to fit in the picture better. Some might think that the bottom part is a stove top, but the more common name for a stove top is a range. So what does that leave you? "Skylight over range." As you probably can tell just from looking, "skylight over range" is an anagram for "a grovelers' kything" and anyone who has read Chaucer knows that "kythe" means "to make known; to manifest" Thus, skylight over range: To make known the secrets of geocaching to groveling newbies.

And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. . . . Quote Link to comment
+alexrudd Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 A stereotypical pirate's treasure chest, viewed sideways. You know, a rectangular box with a half-circle lid, like they show in pirate movies. Apparently it's supposed to be metal, as in a "modern" treasure hunt. Even though I can see where it's coming from, I agree it looks odd. Quote Link to comment
