I have always wondered this.<br /><br />What is Michael holding in his hand, in the picture for his "Off the Wall" album cover?<br /><br />images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTo_4mFXj6P7A6_5XgaY6G1MWM-p6vQtlJx3VROUr8lwHo2QC_tYA<br /><br />offthewall.jpg

    chalk?

    I thought that too... but then it looks too big and shiny to be chalk.

    would the camara have caught the dust coming off of it if he was twirling it?

    Back when chalkboards were the norm in classrooms,they used to have chalk holders that were silver like that so that you wouldn't break the chalk and/or get it on your hands. Also...it extended the length of the chalk to write easier.

    It is a piece of chalk in a little transparent plastik box to prevent your hands and clothes from getting dusty from chalk dust. Only a small part of chalk on top to be able to write on the board (here on the wall).
    If you don't use it your black suit will get white from the dust.
    Comparable to a lipstick which disappears after usage or you would smear your clothes or handbag with the lipstick's color.
    So that's my guess: Michael doesn't want his hands and clothes to be covered with white chalk dust and uses not just chalk, but the more elegant version. <!-- s:idea: -->:idea:<!-- s:idea: --> <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P -->
    I just see the answer has already been found out by anewfan. Riddle solved then.
