Yep. Since Kalah's picture was correct, he gets a point. These are the rules.

I was actually thinking about that Roman sword, but I thought it was built for stabbing and not very good for swinging... Anyway, a point for me, and I don't even have to make up another object. That's up to the other guy.

Hmm... I guess that's open for interpretation:
rules wrote: One point is given for a correct guess (name), and another for the correct picture.
One could read that as that one would have to post the name first in order to be able to get the point for the image.

Also, I've found the website Kalah got the picture from, and that sword is close to 1 m long, so it's clearly not a gladius, but more likely a spatha, which is a long cavalry sword that was introduced in the first century. So that picture is not really correct :tongue:

Originally it did not matter which was posted first IIRC. Although rare, in some cases naming an object may be stuck in language barrier, while you still can find the correct image.

After checking several other sites about the object, I noticed some of them reported very different weights for it, the lowest being 35 grams, some around 125 grams, and many others up to 300 grams. :tired:

You should be able to find the answer with other details but this one should not be considered as 100% sure, sorry.

Hint coming soon.

I had a good idea as to what it could be... but the possibility of blue color throws me off. Hmmm...

All colors are on the same *insert object here* at the same time. The blue part is usually very minor. There is more green than other colors, but the 'pink' (sometimes close from peach color) is the most important to differentiate it from other similar... say "things". Some variations may not have green on them, in that case it's yellow instead, but the regular one has those colors.

Hint: It's usually said that if you lose one, you'll lose the other one soon after.

Another smaller hint, an egg shape for the main part is commonly used by drawers for very few kinds of subjects.

It's more complex and only the main part is egg-shaped.
Other hint: no sexual dimorphism

In that case I would put my money on silence or a razorblade (which is always a good guess).
