Hello Neatoramanauts! It's time for this week's What Is It? game. Can you tell us what the function of the strange contraption above?
Place your guess in the comment section. One guess per comment, please. You can, however, enter as many as you'd like. Write no URL or web links - let others play.
Two prizes as usual: the first correct guess and the funniest yet wrong guess will win T-shirts from the NeatoShop. You must write your choice of T-shirt wth your entry, otherwise you forfeit the prize. (May we suggest the NeatoShop's lines of Science T-Shirts and Funny T-Shirts?). You have until the right answer is revealed at our partner blog.
For more clues, be sure to visit the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!
Update 7/26/10 - the answer is: A hand held crop duster, used to apply dry chemicals including lime and insecticides to growing plants. Harley got it right first, but chose the wrong prize. Congratulations to Professor who submitted "antique hand-cranked Dust-Buster."
For Wiliamsmith6: the same place had a husker and kernel remover.
the birds and bees ladies fit L
rawr_im_a_taco - 2 things. It's Amish and they DO use electricity. Methinks you could read up on something before you state things as facts.
(got the second part of the request down pat)
