Unintentional Cylon Items

I didn't know what to call this thread but I thought it'd be neat to start one where we can post photos of things we see in stores or just around where we live, work, etc. that remind you of Cylons. What inspired me was (of all things) Nail Polish! I do some painting/art work of different mediums and I found this in the drug stores and didn't realize it until I got home how "Cylon" it is! Look at how they did the top/lids with the "grid" part!

These are Wet-n-Wild Fast Dry nail polishes in Gold, Black and Silver (Image attached).

Anyone see anything that could be considered Cylon? I know some have made Cylon pumpkins and coffee pots, toasters, etc. I'm not talking about those items that are "intentionally Cylon". I'm talking about happy accidents such as the design of the caps on these nail polishes.

Let's see what we can come up with! Maybe you don't know anything off hand but keep your eyes open and cell phone ready! :cylon:

Great idea, RavenLX. Love this thread - good start!

Thanks. :)

Some ideas to start folks off:

Quanset buildings, air vents, interesting sculptures, bottle or other decorative caps (as I've come across)...

To be fair, I think it should be ok to link to photos on the web too, I guess, in case you can't find anything in your own home or local community.

'nuff said

ok - I'll elaborate, father creator with his creation which undoubtedly looks like a Cylon in many respects including its shiny exterior and scalloped engine cover.

oh - and yes... that IS MY car... not just any DeLorean, but the very one that sits in my garage as I type this. Am I bragging... yes.

Cool you have one of these! Can you show the scalloped engine cover? Also can you describe more about the picture in how it reminds you of Cylons? It would be neat to learn more about this.

This isn't an "item" but it is pretty funny. Our esteemed Imperious Leader of the USA:

Look at the President's face! LOL! I know he probably is dreading this picture but the shape of the mouth looks like a Centurion!
