What Is It? game 298
Now it's time for our collaboration with the awesome What Is It? Blog! What is this thing? You don't have to know to win!
Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. You might know the true answer, but we're going to select two winners who come up with the funniest, most outlandish guesses to win a T-shirt from the NeatoShop. However...
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?
Check out more pictures of this thing at the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!
Update: the mystery item is a bread slicer. Using a knife and this device you can make a 1/2" thick slice of bread into two 1/4" thick slices. Why you would ever want to do that is beyond me. But we were looking for funny answers and we got them!
Carlos Pfister had a funny one: "Thats a Decepticon Pop Tart. It transforms into a mean little bastard." Another good one came from mowog, who said: "It's a cheese 'Swisser.' Insert cheap, plain white cheese, puncture - PROFIT!" Both win a t-shirt from the NeatoShop for those answers! See the answers to all of this week's mystery objects at the What Is It? blog.

International Space Station (ISS) as it
flies past your location?
You even have two choices.
Go to this NASA site and sign up for their
free EMails after you pick your location.
They will send you one when the ISS will
be at least 40 Degrees above your horizon.
It could be some days before you get an
update so be patient. It must be dark naturally.
I've gotten notices for when it wasn't dark yet
which didn't make much sense. The ISS will be
really bright & easy to see if it's mostly
clear out. It will be the brightest object in the
sky after the moon.

==============================================
Someone told me about this site recently.
http://iss.astroviewer.net/observation.php
Enter your location and it shows a 10
day list with a map of when the ISS will
be visible. If you click Home you can see
what is below the ISS. This site is really
nice and the 10 day list is better than
waiting for the NASA EMails that they send
approximately 12 hours ahead of time.
Have fun!
I came across a Poloroid of Echo I or II going over in the night sky. Brought back fond memories of the neighbors watching those satellites go over in the mid 50's. Watching
the ISS does the same thing.
I didn't mention it but if you wave at the ISS and they see you they will blink their
lights off and on!
