I have a dirty mind for what to do with this part.
Half of it is missing.
One in white might do Snoopy's nose justice!
I haven’t got enough of these yet.
@Huw: that might be a good idea for a report. What is available part-wise in the 2x2 round bricks realm, what is available in the 3x3, 4x4, 6x6, 8x8, 10x10 and others if any. Some segment have cone tops, some have rounded tops (some have both) some contour bricks, some have plates, etc. I think it could be interesting to see what is available (mostly since the beginning of Classic Space) and also what is missing. Some parts (in 358) were available for a while and never after...
@Modeltrainman : Um...it's been many a year...but isn't Snoopy's nose black...now Heathcliff's...:)
(Originally I put Garfield's, until I realized 'his nose is more triangular'...)
Three by three by eleven thirds? So this thing should be three bricks and two plates tall? Or did they forget how to write 1-1/3?

Right! I mean his snout, maybe. I'm not sure. I just know Patty thought he was a 'funny lookin' kid with a big nose.'

REPORTED! I feverishly hit the report button 10 times for your 10x filthy mind!
this could be a button

A belly button. It's an exaggerated outie.
Also known as the Janet Jackson brick.
Does Huwbot puck which colour is shown or is it automatically determined by which colour has the lowest reference number?
There are 9 colours that this part comes in. This was definitely the most... interesting... colour to pick.
Where’s the “nipple” piece 20482 when you need it?

Oh yeah…the top of an ice cream cone. Go on, break that diet ;)
Bionicle lore: these were NOT used in the making of Roodaka.
EDIT: Though, uh, that might make quite the MOC.
@merman : That's Ms. Jackson, cuz you're 'Nasty'...:D
@Modeltrainman: You could also mean 'muzzle', as in elongated part of a canine skull/face which contains its jaw and mouth...:)
Imagine this used for an astromech droid.
