    It is a soviet army biscuit buttering machine. Called a "Kampechnya' Nudfatna Vechnitatak" (Stlins Whore) by the troops it has been used to make a rough tasting vodka from wood chips or delouse sleeping clothes, depending on the region. No one has ever figured out how to butter biscuits with it. Although it is offically listed as a biscuit buttering machine, no one in the soviet army is exactly sure why.

    The CIA spent over 17 million dollars researching its deployment.

    It is a kerosene powered railway signal. It has different reflectors to signal whether a train is coming or going, and a couple of knobs at the bottom to control how bright the flame is. Judging by the two screw mounts on the top, I'd say it was meant to hang on a wall, probably at the station itself.

    I'll have to say it does look like the sinks from the bathroom in Hogwarts, but I think it really is a sink. Three sinks and mirrors for a public place, such as maybe a locker room.

    it's a fun fair game, where you have to pee on the propane flames and extinguish them as fast as possible.

    Randall is a genius of some sort (I don't know what sort, exactly, but still). He's the best part of this blog.

    Great guesses, guys! The answer is Egg Candler (guessed right by Bill #14).

    I agree with c-dub #35. Randall is definitely a genius and the best part of this blog. I wouldn't dare go head to head with him in a game of Balderdash.
