What Is It? game 173



It is once again time for our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog. Do you know what this object is? Can you make a wild guess?

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Post no URLs or weblinks, as doing so will forfeit your entry. Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest (albeit ultimately wrong) guess will each win a T-shirt from the NeatoShop.

Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?

Be sure to check out the What Is It? Blog. Let your imagination run wild, and good luck!

Update: It took over 50 guesses for someone to come up with the correct answer! Berhard finally said this object is a corn dryer. You stuck it into ears of corn to hang and dry them so you could use the kernels for seed corn. trishlovesdolphins gave us the funniest answer: it's the air freshener from Mad Max's car! Both win t-shirts from the NeatoShop.

A crude toothpick for Chuck Norris....careful he used that to break out of the Texas Ranger Museum......

Chuck Norri's "blowrag"...

He rams it into one of his nostrils and any kindd of snot is hooked on the serrated ends and will be dragged out of the nose. For really nasty boogers the hook end can be used...

Very useful if you are waiting in an ambush for making an attack and you do not want to indicate your position by the sound of blowing your nose...

Wizard of Oz, The Short Version XXL

(the same selection if it would really be a smoke hook... sorry forgot to indicate)

I think it's clear that this is a Satanic Christmas ornament. As the evergreen represents life and hope in the dark of the winter, this obviously would represent death and despair. It's probably also cursed or haunted and you most likely should get rid or it as soon as possible.

Its a Stellmachia, the the traditional fighting weapon of the Grubonia people, whose fledgling civilization was crushed and its people enslaved by other fledgling civilizations who fought with sharp pointy things.

These were developed about the time of the Hundred Years War(tm).

Knights on the road wearing all their armor all day long had a problem with being detectable downwind. This little device was attached to the knight's helmet, near the visor, and was intended to ward off the "foul miasmas" caused by too many days' wearing the same chain-maile Y-fronts.

These were extremely popular, especially if they were dipped in pine resin, which gave off a pleasing "Forreste-fresch Scentte."

If It Weren't For Physics and Law Enforcement, I'd be Unstoppable 2XL, please.

But then, maybe it is a Borg Butt Plug(tm). Their real method of assimilation . . .

If It Weren't For Physics and Law Enforcement, I'd be Unstoppable. 2XL, please.

It is to put into metal cabinet slot. Friction would hold it in place. The hook like structure at the top would be used to fasten or hold wire or tube.

It's the holiday version of the 'sky hook' for scavenger hunts. Yes, they do exist but they are extremely rare. That's why people never seemed to find them for their scavenger hunts.
