loupe magnifier enclosure - just the right half of the prize, for those who have extras of the left half…

Wow, I think I need a bit more coffee in the morning… It should be correct now. The prize is the entire magnifier (not just the holder). I think by the time the contest is over the text will be correct.

Mikas;
>This is a ***** *****.
Did you ever have someone ruin the suspense a movie by telling you what was about to happen?
Did you ever have someone kill the enjoyment of reading a book by telling you the ending?
Did you ever have someone take the fun out of a Name the Thing Contest by publicly posting the answer?
Please don’t destroy this contest for everyone else. Thank you.
