What is it? Game 74

Today's collaboration with the What is it? blog brings us this strange object. Is it a weapon? Or simply a tool? Can you guess what it is for?

Place your guess in the comment section - no prize this week, so you're playing for fame and glory only. But please post no URL - let others play.

For more clues, check out the What is it? Blog. Good luck, guys!

Update 8/29/08 - the answer is: A corn havester, for cutting corn stalks at the base without bending over, patent number 471,889, a modern version is still sold today. Congratulations to Roscoe who got it right first!

It's a boot.

Ohhhhhh.... You mean the black thing strapped to his leg... Others have already gotten that; corn cutter. But how many have actually used one or know how they work?

You people. Don't you recognize this? Back when Hermes fought the Harpies, he took a bad hit to the leg, and lost one of the wings off of his feet. While it was re-growing, Vulcan (or was it Hephaestos?) fashioned him this keen prosthetic leg wing. Worked like a charm. Don't you people read the news? Sheesh.

From Dave: "But how many have actually used one or know how they work?"

You lie down on the ground. Then a fellow farm hand grabs you by both arms and swings you around in a circle while walking up and down the rows of corn. Ta da!
