kind of looks like one of those platic tubes you put down under gravel to
keep 
plants from growing up through it. Neat way to make a buck selling it as
a toy 
for 5x what it costs at the building supply store. Now you hang you DSLR
from it 
and do aerial photos. The rest of us watch and laugh when it crashes in the 
lake. GRIN!

I thought it looked like a fully erect great big huge throbbing black pudding!

The above was in one of the last few digests I've got to read ;-)

Yes, but you have a dirty mind.

I always wondered what one of them was:
http://cowfish.org.uk/gallery/flugtag2003/p1010020
...the guy in the picture didn't have it on a string while I was watching, 
but just wandered around trying to use it as a large, rather soft club for 
attacking his mates. It's nice to think that it has a proper use :)

When I was in high school, right around 1979 or 1980, some locals got
into trouble for filling punching bags (big heavy duty balloons) with
hydrogen and tying a length of waterproof (green) fuse to them.  They'd
light the fuse and release them to detonate when the fuse burned up to
the punching bag.  When they got a little optimistic with the fuses,
the things were getting into the traffic pattern of the local airport. 
They had some rather, um, earnest discussions with the FAA and the BATF
according to the local newspaper.
