Those Mayan priests were way off base. The correct date for the end of the world is May 21, 2011.
Harold Camping has announced that this new date corrects his previous incorrect prediction that the world would end in 1994. He acknowledges that the previous prediction was based on a "mathematical error." The new prediction has, however, a much more fundamental theological basis:
Squared, mind you. How can you argue with such mathematical precision? And please ignore the shape of his head in the shadow...

Harold Camping has announced that this new date corrects his previous incorrect prediction that the world would end in 1994. He acknowledges that the previous prediction was based on a "mathematical error." The new prediction has, however, a much more fundamental theological basis:
The number 5, Camping concluded, equals "atonement." Ten is "completeness." Seventeen means "heaven."
"Christ hung on the cross April 1, 33 A.D.," he began. "Now go to April 1 of 2011 A.D., and that's 1,978 years." Camping then multiplied 1,978 by 365.2422 days - the number of days in each solar year, not to be confused with a calendar year. Next, Camping noted that April 1 to May 21 encompasses 51 days. Add 51 to the sum of previous multiplication total, and it equals 722,500.
Camping realized that (5 x 10 x 17) x (5 x 10 x 17) = 722,500. Or put into words: (Atonement x Completeness x Heaven), squared.
"Five times 10 times 17 is telling you a story," Camping said. "It's the story from the time Christ made payment for your sins until you're completely saved. "I tell ya, I just about fell off my chair when I realized that," Camping said.
Squared, mind you. How can you argue with such mathematical precision? And please ignore the shape of his head in the shadow...

I thought the 2012 date was the end of the long count, nothing more, nothing less. It might be the end of a lot of the BS we have going on. Maybe it will be the dawning of a new age.
If it's gonna end, why worry.
..what you were planning to hide somewhere????
You are putting out the wrong information, because the Bible states, Only God knows that date. I hope Father makes, all that are putting out dates, look like the fool's that they are.
From One-Being, that is a part of the real, Body of Jesus Christ.
it seems that the black roll at the front end of the handle serves as a kind of thumb operated brake for adjusting the tension wich which the band/tape is dispensed.
there also seem to be a kind of band/tape cutter provided at the front end of the device
it seems that there is also a kind of resilient jaw like rest provided at the front bottom end of the device, that is i expect that it is for some kínd of adhesive band/film, adhesive tape such as duct tape 600mph tape, pressure sensitive tape or even gummed fabric or paper tape..
the cranked rod at the rear end seems to serve to hold a roll of band/tape/film.
it seems also possible that the tape/band dispenser may serve for labelling purposes

a newspapers "by Mail" subscription list is printed on a roll, put into this contraption. you roll a subscribers name and address out, it runs over the glue roller at bottom, then you slap the device down on a newspaper, which causes the snippet of paper with name and address to be cut off the roll, and adhere to the newspaper.

This is a "Repunzel" dental floss dispenser (disposable version). It used finely spun human hair, or golden spun straw (Rumpelstiltskin version). I believe the latter could be refilled, but only after promising your first born (not a bad deal back then).
Personally, I prefer the more modern dental tape dispensers as pockets have decreased in size over the decades.
Anyway, mystery solved... where do I get my t-shirt?
but if you really want to know what I think...
it clearly is a mountain climbing device. the flat metal bit at the front ratchets down on vinyl straps, and the gears crank the position on the strap forward, enabling the climber to hold the handle and safely ascend the mountain.

Alternatively, it's a steampunk conversation starter. Leave it on the coffee table at a party, watch people turn the handle, and viola! - instant conversational guesses about what it REALLY is!
