Paperclips

#1 Post by kingsley » Tue Jan 13, 2009 8:31 pm

I'm slightly unsure why there are paperclips in front of some of the thread titles (Pisces and Leo, there might be more). At first I thought it was just on Pisces and thought 'Oooh, Scurra's giving us a subtle hint that each fish represents a different variety of paperclip', but then I saw it on Leo as well (I haven't done Leo so the puzzle might be about paperclips for all I know).

Anyone know what it means (unless I've had a brainwave and the fish are actually paperclips in disguise)?

I think it's when someone has posted a file attachment. But I could be wrong.

Yes - it's when someone inserts an image or a file in a thread. So the one for Leo was prompted by that ever-so-subtle "framed quote" that Bunnylump provided.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

I'm quite impressed that that didn't get edited out...
