Default OT - Anyone know what this metal clip might be for?

Found it on the kitchen floor, and can't figure out what the heck it's for... looks familiar too, but I can't place it! Aargh!

Default Reminds of the links used for bike chains

Hmmm actually that looks like the same thing that is used for my belt-driven garage door opener to connect the belt to some other hardware.

Looks like it's part of the focusing mechanism on your camera

Default Hmmm... or a type of U shaped circlip... maybe to hold the gas stove ***** on!

Our friggin' one year old pulls on anything he can get his hands on, so maybe it's from some kitchen appliance...

It looks like one of these:
