Typographical Bus Stop

Where's the nearest bus stop? If you're new in a city and don't know how the local public transportation system is organized, that can be unclear. But not if you live in this neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. Four artists from Spain designed a bus stop that spells it out for you.

Emilio Alarcón, Alberto Alarcón, Ciro Márquez, and Eva Salmerón form the art collective mmmm… (that’s 3 dots). Their wood and steel sculpture entitled BUS provides shelter for people from the sun and the rain, as well as provides a place to sit or lie down. You can see more photos of it at Colossal.

This is a ches' pont nimbler used in pastry and cake decorating. Oddly enough its use was banned in the Duchy of Moldavia because of a dream the Baroness had and related to her 2nd hairdresser, who fortold the Dukes demise at the hands of a Pastrey Cheof' armed with this instrument.

Oddly enough he was run over by a tank during military exercises, the corparal-chef who was in comand of the tank was named:....Chespont.

A tool for handling molten metal... should have a cup that holds the metal, then that clamps around the cup and you can pour it into a mold (or something).

I think it is a set of metalsmithing tongs. We use something similar to transfer and quench our beakers during the casting process.

Lew may also be correct, they could be used to hold the crucible as well.

Can't wait to find out if I'm right!

Maybe it's for handling logs in a fire place?
It just looks like tongs you can use for anything you need tongs for: hold something hot, remove a big bullet, deliver a baby, cut of a ball or two, stripping some leaves, pour some acid, pick your nose or a pocket. Great invention, tongs.

I do believe that it's an old tool primarily used on the Irish holiday of St. Patrick's Day. When a person forgets or refuses to wear green, this tool is used for an extra-painful pinch.
