scientists baffled

An unusual artifact pictured below has been causing some debate amongst the scientific community in Glanton of late. It seems no-one can agree on the strange engravings found in this unusual aritifact.

We managed to persuade the two biggest intellectual heavyweights of the churnal to meet us and give their opinions. Natty Inkspoon spoke authoritatively, 'to me it is obviously some kind of bar stool in which have been engraved the face of a giant panda, I imagine this could be linked to the WWF, which is a federation of endangered animals throughout the galaxy. However without being able to take a spectral analysis of this stool sample I cannot be sure.'

However Professor David Makay disagreed saying, I can see two eyes and a nose sure but I don't think the animal in question is a panda, no no no. This is not meant to be taken literally, however what is sure is that the stool was crafted by some sort of ancient civilisation possibly even more advanced than our own.

However just as the debate was hotting up in walked Sun Journalist Jim wearing his kilt and snatched the chair away, 'get off my stool' he said elbowing Natty out the way and sitting down. 'Mine's a pint of best bitter' he elaborated.
