It is Rufus' to tell. Maybe he will when somebody uses the right words to describe it.
I still think Murph should get credit even though it does not look like a teddy bear.
Maybe Murph mistook the thing in the anomaly for a teddy bear.

It looks as much like a teddy bear as does the rabbit in the moon look like a rabbit.

This is the story of how I found out what this whatzit is.

I happened to be looking at some Emily Bronte poetry when Rufus posted this Whatzit.

The lines in the image reminded me of this painting of Emily.

Out of pure whimsy I played on Murph's guess of a teddy bear in the snow and said it was Emily Bronte in the snow. I had no idea at the time how close Murph was to what Rufus' whatzit is.

Then, considering what is in Rufus' mind (gory pictures and women)

I googled this search:

I still didn't know what the Rufus whatzit was but the "sleeping lady" looked Rufusy, so I hit on it.

And there it was, "Fact Check: Photo Of "Sleeping Lady" Mt. Susitna Was NOt..."

It was the answer.

Yes. Of course that is not all but the things you post are a part of you. For example your avatar today, a humanoid composed of heads and rabbit's feet.
Related, you mentioned the rabbit in the moon. Are you still troubled by the concept of an Easter Bunny?

Are you thinking of turning a caboose into a locomotive? I see a caboose with traction trucks in your head.

Congratulations to the Wayne for your bold , investigatory candor !

Ask him about visitations by extra-terrestrials, too ! Ga-head, Ga-head, ask him!!!!!!

Troubled? Conceptually? No. He was delicious fried in butter with some onions. However, I did miss my Cadbury eggs this year again

Done that already......

Mount Susatina only looks like a sleeping woman when viewed from the side, aka ground level, and only from the Anchorage "metropolitan" area. Rufus initial (and so far ONLY) clue is an arial shot, almost perpendicular.

Chuck,

It would seem, from the above comment, that you have not seen Mount Susitna (note spelling) from above with the snow (or glacier) mostly melted. You found Area 52 on Little Mount Susitna. What lies under all that white stuff on Big Mount Susitna?

Keep checking in, Rufus is showing us, one step at a time.

Mountain without snow

Mountain with snow

I really don't care anymore. I see a sort of moose in the upper right corner of without snow and a "wind god" with his arms extended on the left side. This is more like the old 1979 SNL skit with Don Novello's Father Sarducci, "Popes face in a pizza".
