Update 3/7/08 - great guesses, guys! Here's the answer:These were placed onto the head of a calf when they wanted it to stop nursing on the cow, the cow would get poked by the spikes and push the calf away, patent number 1,882,232. An easier solution would be to put them in separate pens, but apparently that wasn't always an option.
Congrats to kusito #11 who got it right!

Oh, and 'calf weaners' are clipped onto a calf's nose so they droop over their mouth. When they go to nurse the spikes (which are *much* shorter) hit the utter causing mom to shoo them away. Having spikes around the eyes, especially of that magnitude, is not going to be that effective at anything other than bodily harm.

it is their first attempt to make a mask for hannibal lector. The only issue was he would still try to bite people and end up sending a spike right to their throaght. That is why they decided to change the design to something more suitable
Keeps the weak suitors from contributing to the gene pool.
Smaller versions exist for your wrists.
It can also be used to eat less, but people can throw food in their mouth, so it's less effective.
Every warrior should have at least one, even if it's not made for that purpose originally.
If you have a fourth one laying around, place it over the ashtray. You can't have too many spikes if you want to quit smoking.
Actually there are stories of catholic schools that used the wristmodels to keep young boys (and girls) from scratching themselves under the covers.

Umm...I guess it a part of sex toy!!
