A picture is worth a thousand words...

i need a few more words to know what I am looking at...

[Mike]

It looks like each pan is cooking a single egg.  Huge.  Ostrich?

Australia?

Nice handles on the pan.

[opsec]

Those aren't pans. Those are army issue shovels, also known as an "E-tool".

[Wellspring]

There's a very interesting tool in this picture at Noon.
what is that?

[Atash Hagmahani]

I think some of you are not getting it.

Think about what other use they put those shovels to.

 

[wander]

Those are chinese lower enlisted using etools to cook eggs. Given that it's China, they are probably just chicken eggs, the etools are very small. perhaps 1 1/2 feet long. Atash is right, what else has been shoveled with those things?

[Mike]

etools
chicken eggs
army fatigues
probably Chinese people?
Tool at 12:00? a metal detector? 
Are they removing land mines?

I still need about 995 words.

It's about warm food and throw in a couple of biscuits baked in a tin can and a little fried rat and you have a breakfast sandwich.

OK, a McBreakfast.  But what about the tool at 12:00?

[opsec]

I'm lost on the 12:00 tool too.

[wander]

My guess: Optical illusion. It's a stick overlaid against a rolled up sleeve.

Chinese because-
1. a google search of the file name reveals it's probably of chinese origin
2. the insignia matches on the shoulder epaulet matches the rank of PFC in the chinese army
3. the shovel matches a photo of a chinese army issue etool

[opsec]

It looks like a stick to me too.
