Ok I haven't been around so my memory with Byond coding isn't good. Now how would I make an object or turf change to a different icon\state Every so much time lets say like 5 minutes. Yes very Newbieish but your help would be nice.

Something like this would work:
obj/mimic
  New()
    ..()
    ChangeIcon()

  proc/ChangeIcon()
    icon=pick('tree.dmi','rock.dmi','item.dmi')
    icon_state=pick(icon_states(icon))
    spawn(3000)     // in 5 minutes
      ChangeIcon()  // call this proc again
