This Week I've consolidated two of my weekly post installments into one jumbo Friday post:
Picture of the Week 84 and Weekly Riddle 8!
My friend Roei Sadan has been traveling the world for two years now. Starting his journey in Alaska, I met him in Peru.
He's currently in Swaziland, Africa.
This weeks picture, titled by him "The Colors of Africa", is one of his amazing shots.
Check others out at his Picasa Album.
This week's riddle was pushed off due to a busy week of moving (When things are settled, rest assured an invite for the chanukas habayis farbrengin will go up here) - I'll have the answer up for the inquisitive of mind, G-d willing Sunday night.
Two arms,
Twelve eyes.
Always counting,
Never ending.
This one is worth 10 points.
5 additional points for anyone who can tell how many trips I made to Lithuania in the year 5766 (2006).
As well there will be a point given to the fifth, eighth, sixteenth person to comment on this post, as well as 6 points to the forty-second comment.*
Wishing everyone a good Shabbos!
*Note: Consecutive comments by the same person will not count - thus if you wrote comment number 4, saying something else in number five will not get you any points.

I know! I know!
it's a clock.
How about if we point out that you can't spell "forty" correctly?
Dude it's a clock.
-TRS: British spelling.
Yay I got the point!
I'll remember that...
clock. good one. I was thinking something along the lines of the choshen mishpat.
Clock makes sense....but why twelve "eyes"?
But sheesh, I was thinking along the lines of kabbala....
Wait..twelve eyes...that's like the creatures with huge eyes all over them, dripping pus, with all the eyes hurting and burning as a punishment for their sins? "V'lo taturu...acharei eineichem..."
(Hey, the above was the eighth comment...cool!)
Aawww! I knew the answer to this one...but it seems a couple of people got here before me :)
Is this a reference to a famous person in chabad foklore? I hope this is not a reference to R' Itcha Masmid or the current Rebbe?
Maybe all the stogies in Yoel Kahan's fingers would count as eyes. Who Knows!!!!
-Snag JR: What happened? The three weeks are over, and with it the issur on rechilus and loshon hora!
It's actually a misnaged that looks at a sefer with two eyes, his chaver with two, his chaver's wife with another pair . . .
yeah! Let's throw insults at each other while we try to figure out who's flavor of Judaism is really what God had in mind. Sounds like a fun and profitable way to spend the afternoon.
Lishetushchuh,
It can't be a Chabdnik, cuz he needs more than twelve eyes to look at Rebbe's tziyur (?s)
Go whine to Hirshel....
Mottel- LOL.
Snag- double LOL.
The answer is, as guessed by Chanie, a clock.
Snag gets 3 points, however, for originality.
Mottel
do you suffer from withdrawel when you don't study chasidus for a few days?
Ask Hirshel...
Wait...so I got the points for the clock?
you still haven't told us why the numbers are called eyes.
-Chanie: Yes!
-E: Poetic licence
I'm VERY unimpressed. In a riddle, your metaphors ought to mean something.
Nice; thanks.
One thing....didn't sarabonne beat me to it?
(Not that I don't want them, but for the sake of honesty...)
