Quiz: What in the Blazes?
` This is quite simple: Now that I know that some people actually look at my blog, I'll invite them to guess what this is a picture of.
` I'm the one who ran it through with Adobe and put it up on ImageShack (plus, a larger version is set for my desktop image), and I know exactly what it is. But can you guess?
` What is this a photograph of?
` Clue: The color of the object pictured is actually off-white - it's only colored to look like a pit in hell or something, but I assure you that it isn't any kind of fire.
` Also, it isn't cake icing, though the object in question does indeed look as if it is a frosted... object of some sort.
` And... go!
` Note: EVERYONE who comes across this post is invited to guess in my comments section. (e.g. Dory, George, Jim, Chrissy, my mother, Tom, Daniel, people I don't know.) In fact, anyone who's anyone is welcome to comment on any of my posts!

Looks like a 'splashy sun-spot' to me.
It's a rooster with boxing gloves!
` Dory, what on earth is that page your name is connected to?!
It's a flower center! See you at Christmas!
it looks like something oily....but it's white?
hmmm....
shampoo?
I know, I know!!! It's stucco!
It looks to me like watery spaghetti sauce on a really high boil.
And besides, Dory, what on earth is that page your name is connected
to?!
Ok, my last guess is creamer in coffee.
okay. you're right. shampoo was dumb.
creamer sounds good.....
but what about an alka-seltzer?
` Well... so far, only Dory - whose name is linked to something I still haven't deciphered - has actually written the proper answer. (I was hoping a couple others would join in, but they didn't get a chance.)
` It is indeed a 'splashy sun spot', as she's so cleverly put it. The 'splashes' are due to the sun's magnetic field causing hot plasma to 'bubble' outwards in a 'loop' shape.
` I am still, however, under the impression that George knows exactly what it is, as he's probably come across this very picture - and many similar ones in all different color schemes - on one of his happy astronomy websites, the Astronomy Picture of the Day.
HA! SEE! I told you it was a rooster with boxing gloves!
