I don't think the Scrabble angle works, there should be a number of things on each object, as opposed to a number, which is one thing. I now realize that zero is a number, so the set-up is valid, yes.

I was thinking the "number of things" on the Scrabble tiles were the "number of points", but the idea is invalidated to my satisfaction. I think invoking double word scores and stuff like that is just trying to bash a square peg into a round hole.

Hey look what I found - this could be some kind of angle for finding a specific meaning in the numbers, and relating dominoes to a woo-woo theme:

Also the phrase in the question: "What am I holding?"

Is the answer: "Domino tiles", or is it something more specific like, "A prediction of doom", "A really crappy poker hand", or something like that?

Hence my earlier posts.

Sorry skidoo, I had several tabs open at the same time while I was searching for scrabble letters and figured I must have written "domino combinations", instead of, "scrabble combinations" into Google accidently or something. I totally forgot about clicking your link and going on working in another window.

My bad.

I'm just being obnoxious.

Oh no, I'm glad you brought it up. If you didn't everyone would be thinking I'm some kind of jerk trying to take credit for something I didn't think of.

Now I just look stupid. I'm used to that.

I made that pic up a while back. I've been saving it for my next major screw up, (inevitable for someone who runs off at the mouth as much as I do).

I'm done with the puzzle for now. I'm gonna go listen to the Uncut Tam 5 interview instead.

Let me put my Carl Sagan-ifried brain on it.... ;-)

EDIT: But wait. First I have to watch the rest of this chase scene in Magnum Force. Holy shit. Nobody ever mentions this one when they talk about great car chases. Oooooh! Clint totally pwned that badguy motorcycle cop. Ouch!

There's also the avenue of it being a famous artifact(s)

OK, I'm listening to the skeptical archeaologist, and he's really informative and seems to know this Clovis stuff inside-out, but...is he deaf?

:shock: My ears!

I'm watching the Weird Al Show - Madame Judy, (Tenuta), reminds me of Sylvia Browne. LMAO!
