Original Post

I received a copy of 101 Uses for a Dead Cube and will be posting most, if not all, of the images.

Remember, most of the "Uses" aren't very useful. The names I provided are my own. If you think of a better title for the picture, let me know.

I think most people who have brought more than a couple puzzles on a plane have been stopped at least once by security.

I have on several occasions, they open the bag and go "WOW!". One guy even held one up (Skewb Ultimate) and yelled to his buddy 2 x-ray machines over "Try solving this one!". I just laughed.

They look awesome, especially the megaminx!

Just lots of colourful geometric shapes.

My uncle works at airport security, so he has seen his fair share of cubes, apparently they do look a little threatening.

And, it would be called? It looks like some kind of swimsuit...but, I'm not sure. Thanks, anyway.

I plan to upload some more images tonight.

EDIT: Nevermind, the scanner in the library is broken...so, hopefully some time this week.

It looks to me like the lady was in the chair, and got a cube shaped tanline, so I'd call it tanline. I'm not sure how the sun got at such a strange angle, but that looks like what they want you to think.

I thought about that, too, but it looks so weird. I guess I could name it "Look at my impossibly, amazing tanline!"

21 more scans for everyone to enjoy.

This took two hours longer than it should have and after I was finished...I linked the same picture four times.

Thank goodness for the preview feature. My only quarrel is that I have to open a new window or tab to view the picture to make sure it is correct. If I don't, I have to repaste the entire message.

As always, let me know if you have a better name for any of the pictures.

53. Palace
54. Stomach Ache
55. Easter
56. Toilet
57. Message in a Bottle
58. Wine
59. Charity
60. Global Warming
61. Universe
62. Vampires
63. William Tell
65. Dinner
66. Alley Cats
67. Motivation
68. Drumsticks
69. Capital Punishment
70. Lemonade
71. Mouse Trap
72. Girlfriends
73. Secret Stash
74. Pregnancy
