What Is It? Game 138 - Neatorama

My oh my, it's Thursday already. Time for our weekly collaboration with the always intriguing What Is It? Blog! Let's get started: what is the object above used for?

Place your guess in the comment section. One guess per comment, please - though you can enter as many as you'd like. Let others play, do not post any URL or web link (doing so will invalidate your entry). You have until the answer is revealed at the What Is It? Blog. Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest albeit ultimately wrong guess.

Let's mix it up a bit: Winners will get a neat Kitchen Stuff item from the NeatoShop worth $20 or less. Go on, take a look there. IMPORTANT: Please write your choice alongside your guess. If you don't make your selection then you *forfeit* the prize, mmkay?

For more clues, check out the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!

Update 5/17/10 - the answer is: A naval bar shot, it was fired from a cannon and was designed to rip away an enemy ship's rigging, similar to chain shot. Congratulations to Anonymustard who got it right first (but declined the prize) and to The Flint Skinny's guess of Michael Clarke Duncan's Prince Albert. Whatever you do, DO NOT Google it!

Shit, got beat. Sadly, I recognized this as an object you'd put into a cannon. Someone else mentioned bar shot. I couldn't think of the name. Kudos to them.

It looks like a revolutionary war bar shot.
They were invented a long time before that but this may be from the revolutionary war...

I believe anonymustard is correct in calling it a bar shot, although I'll admit I never knew what it was called. Living in Delaware they're in a lot of coastal museums around here.

I think Anonymustard is correct. I believe the proper name is an Angel, or more specifically a Cannon Angel. A close range projectile designed to reek havoc on the rigging of an opposing sailing vessel. (Mr. Snot Water Bottle)

Don't lie to me and tell me this isn't an anchor because they're all anchors. I'd use this as an anchor, wouldn't you? You would if you were an old man. My grandpa would have used this as an anchor. My neighbor Joe who feeds the deer out of a big rusty wheelbarrow would use this as an anchor. And every time I would go see my grandpa or Joe and I saw this heavy metal rusty thing sitting in their yard next to the "flower pots" which are really old tires with daffodils in them I'd say, "What's that?". And they'd reply, "That's my anchor" even though they don't have a boat and never go to the lake or the sea.

They're all anchors.

I request the hop side down beer glass please.

Bar shot, to be shot from a cannon.

I think it is a Bar shot, a projectile that europeans used to shoot out of cannons and sail towards the opposing ships Masts which would break through them and render the ship immobile - Mr. Tap Water Bottle

cannon shot - specifically, bar shot
