Woohoo! It's time for our collaboration with the What is it? Blog - can you guess what this strange tool above is for?
Place your guess in the comment section. One guess per comment please. You can, however, guess as many times as you'd like. Post no URL or links - doing so will forfeit your winnings.
Two winners this week: the first correct guess and the funniest (but ultimately wrong) guess will win Bacon Soap from the Neatorama Shop. Check out the Bacon Store for more bacon goodness!
For more clues, be sure to visit the What is it? Blog. Good luck!
Update 10/23/09 - the answer: A corn sheller, it was used to remove the undesirable shaped kernels of corn from the ends of ears leaving the large flat kernels thought to be the best for planting.Congratulations to Tom P. who guessed right, and Dave H. who came up with "Bris-O-Matic"

I know what MY answer to that question would be! ;-)

I can't catch the world as beautiful and wonderful as you do. I would like to, but I can't.
We are part of a chemical chain reaction that started eons ago when RNA was first produced in the primal earth. We are here just because some materials react with others. We follow light, food, sex... And for most of us is so hard to get some or all of those.
We are just worms with a bigger brain and our consciousness is the worst damnation. I simply can't forget I must die, every day, every five minutes I spend iddle I remember I must disappear and never have existed. I would like to belive in god. All I do is keep my hands busy.
This sadness, this fear, this small world, this body, that will bury me and delete the whole universe from existence. This who I am, takes away from me the people I most wanted to be near. Every year is the same year, every day is the same day...
Yes we are that small. I'm that small and I can't smell the roses without remembering it.
I'll admit, I'm a very devout Christian. Perhaps that colors my perception of the world around me, and how even a small thing like myself exists in it. But even before I converted, I always looked at the universe around me and delighted in all its marvels--and felt like an honored guest at the most incredible function in existence. I just can't look at all this, and believe it happened by simple chance.
But that's a debate for another time... ;-)

I just work all day.
Enjoy those moments, hon. When they hit two, you'll be really glad for your powers of memory recall... ;-)
Yayo--Work...oof. Did you have to use that awful four-letter-word...? *shudders*
