Alien Anomalies

They've had peanuts going back to the 60s, I think. Eawwww they MUST be mouldy by now, surely? Maybe they mount them in a frame.... "This is the peanut I was eating when Jim landed on the Moon." "This was the peanut that got stuck under my keyboard for a year and a half in 1969" -)

I think the general Idea is that with most sensitive and expensive electronic equipment certain items are not allowed at the benches or desks.  ESD or liquid hazards are banned from the lab I work in.  Food is only banned because of its liquid content and contamination risk and obviously if food is banned then the implements to consume it would be banned also.  (I know, they are not spoons)

It is not uncommon to have personalized card holders (for those who actually wear them) I have 3 or 4 from previous employers and vendors.  The problem , Iceman, is that this is not an assembly or testing area, it is closer to an office environment with people who spend hours monitoring equipment remotely and dont want to get up, or cant, to get a drink or snack.  No conspiricy, just lax rules.

Here is some information about Dr. Fuk K. Li, who seems to be missing from the area:

The implication is: critical thinking, critical examination, to be aware about all deviations, to see what the mind miss.
See what is too obvious to be given attention,  to see things in a broader context  . This is what I put with these pictures.
There are so many things that people miss due to lack of concentration.

Iceman, not spoons...the metal tab parts of A4 office ring binder files.

I am not sure what you are suggesting are 'risk factors' , the items you are highlighting are personal items but you would find them on any office desk ? Please explain what you think we should be seeing in the images ?

I see some weird stuff.

There seems to be a person deleted-blurred out in one of the screens behind them:

There is something not quite right about this picture.

Here it is - closer.  I still can't say what's wrong here.  Something just seems out of place.

Now, take a look at the ID necklace they all wear.  It says "Mars Science Laboratory" on it.

But someone took a couple of their IDs off - and they say something like "Rob's Surf Shop."

I'm starting to think someone sneaked into the room for the fun.

Of course, the tags do explain a lot about the activity leader.
