a ruler

you got it, cloud wins

(takes a bow)

well, I was going to say that before, but you said it doesn't come in different sizes. I've got a 12 inch ruler and a 6 inch ruler, as well as a yardstick.

That was my thought, but the only one size threw me. I happen to have a ruler 6" long x 1/2" wide, a ruler 12" long x 1 1/2" wide and an 18" long x 1 1/2" wide. I also have metric ones. Just me bitching - carry on.

sorry i was looking right at the ruler on my desk, which is a standard ruler (12")

Here is a hint - It is a ruler.

okay, I have one: animal.

This means anything from the animal kingdom.

does it walk on four legs?

no

#2 - is it a carnivore?

no.

Clue: It is not AN animal; it is a thing which comes from the animal kingdom.

Waitaminute, I call bullshit on one of Rexmons' answers--rulers are rigid! What good is a ruler that bends?

clobble, a thin metal ruler bends....even a wooden one bends slightly.....or else we wouldn;t be a ble to make the boi yoi yoi yoing sound you can make by holding a third of it down on the edge of a table and 'diving boarding' the other end.

#2! is it brown and sticky? this is really #3, but .....hey

I call bullshit on the *same size* thingie, but they are flexible. I have a flexible one...its fun :)

sorry to disappoint, but no

No shit?

Is it alive?

:whofart:

no

Is it pelts?

no

#6 (?) Is it stuffed?

no, it is not stuffed.

#7 - Is it normally found outdoors?

yes, it is found outdoors in its natural state. (It's from an animal, remember?) But . . . as used by humans, it's frequently found indoors.

is it honey?

Is it a food/drink?

no, but good guess

nope. inedible

10 - Is it used in manufacturing?

10 - is it found naturally in the western hemisphere?

it's possible, although most come from other places

yes, but it's not the most common use

does it live in perfect harmony with ebony?

nope. But you're getting close!

13 - is it wax?

No.

is it something that can be worn?

Good one.

yes

come on, you guys, you're so close!

sorry, just got back from lunch. is it a fur?

well no. I'm pretty sure fur occurs commonly in the Western hemisphere, nor is it used in manufacturing. Is it? (tries to imagine furry machinery). Plus someone suggested pelts.

No fur, or hair.

Is it bigger than a breadbox? :)

no

is it body jewelry

no. what I'm thinking of is made by animals other than man.

leather?

nope!

when i said ivory she said it was close...

And she said the same when you asked if it could be worn.

What animal products can be worn? Wool? She said it wasn't fur or hair. Can't be wool. Leather? nope. tortoise shell? Seems unlikely. Besides, that's very western hemisphere. Coral beads? Seems pretty unlikely, also western. The excretion of lac bugs? Do they put that crap in hair spray? I know it's used for furniture finish and is collected in India. Maybe, but seems like a stretch. I won't guess that.

Damn if I know. I'm stumped.

crocodile skin would fall under leather too... maybe it's the magic unicorn horn from "Legend"

Aaaah! You're so close!

18 questions have been asked, but I don't care. If you give up, I'll tell you. or you can just keep asking questions.

Pearls!

YAAAYYYYYY! Pearls it is!

wouldn't that fall under jesters jewelery question?

no.

a pearl does not equal body jewelry.

In fact, real pearls are unsuitable for body jewelry, because you're not supposed to get them wet.

I'm up for another round, if Clodfobble would care to choose an item.
