Mysterious objest is one of US bomblets, not sure about this type, but it seems to be scaterable anti-personel mine. When hitting ground, holder (five star-like objects held together) falls off releasing spring-fired tripwires. After shord delay needed to settle down, mine is ready, so hitting tripwire mahes it BOOM
The Flying Penguin video was an April's fools production by BBC this spring, as can be seen on this Telegraph link:

Thanks for a great site, by the way!
Pettter - I am curious if anybody would believe it's true. I'd like to speak with this person :)
glad you like DRB
Engineer Xavier Borg doesn't convince me that his ideas comprise anything that is not already known to science. In fact I don't even see a theory in his 2 pages of writings.
The image in the The Smallest Refrigerator (Cooler) is actually a Scanning Electron Microscope image.
Hobbiton's in the Midlands, or just possibly the Cotswolds, not where London is!
I've been to the Marrakech market, and those stall owners are the best salesmen I've seen. If you simply pass by them and glance their way, they make you feel guilty for not buying.
Anonymous post 1 is correct on the unknown object it is most definitly a bomblet, to be precise it is a cluster bomblet. They are used both as anti-personel and anti-vehicle devices.

Oh, I have no doubt whatsoever about that, considering the beliefs of some people,
On the other hand, my faith in humanity may not be on the most healthy of levels ;)
Anonymous picture is a CBU-26 cluster bomblet, american, vietnam era.

I am quite disappointed with all of you. The "Mystereous object" is OBVIOUSLY the Holy Handgrenade of Antioch!"
Bah! People these days. No sense of history.
;)
Hmm, about the image with the foot- and wingprints in the snow... couldn't it just have been a bird landing and walking through the snow?
ha... I think you nailed it
Ebeneezer you beat me to it!
Its a cluster bomb unit "bomblet". But I'm not sure whose it is -- It doesn't look like the US ones, and might be a Russian or Eastern Bloc unit CBUs were manufactuered by 34 different countries, and have been used by a number of countries and non-state organizations (such as Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006).
Thank you guys - you got the answer - post updated.
the "Bender" picture is superimposed over a scene in a movie titled "Casablanca".
You mean Bender wasn't really in it? :(
The mystery object is a Soviet bomblets .. Very dangerous explosive . dropped by the RBK 250 or RBK 500 Russian..
