The Lesser of the Two Weevils

Alex •


The Lesser of the Two Weevils - $9.95

For entomologists, the choice is clear: always pick the lesser of the two weevils. This clever design by Chris Murphy is my current bug T-shirt favorite! Link | More Science T-Shirts

Trivia for you: the word weevil comes from an Old English word "wifel" meaning "small beetle." We won't go into the philosophical matter of whether a bug can be evil, but the destructiveness of certain kinds of weevils is well established: the boll weevil devastated the US cotton industry in the 1920s.

This is an old, old, old joke.

Back in the seventies I got a birthday card which ran: "I asked the Great Weevil what to get you for your birthday and he told me to buy a sports car. Then I asked the Little Weevil and he told me to buy a card. Naturally I chose the lesser of the two Weevils."

It wasn't funny or original then. It certainly isn't now.

Tight quarters wrench for getting to the back side of a beam flange (for the square nuts of the time) when there is no clearance for regular tools.

Who cares what it is. The real question is where does one obtain an awesome rug like that. I absolutely need to get one for my apartment.

Yikes. A handle at one end, a socket for the attachment of your choice at the other... I believe this is called "50 Shades of Uncomfortable Seating". The $10 bill is just there to make you feel cheap.

I know what that is! I saw someone using one just the other day! That is one of those things that they use when they need to use one of those things! It only cost $10?

Before shoelaces were invented, this device secured the bolthead closures to womens shoes and corsets. An overtightened corset could be fatal, but an undertightened corset could result in embarassment. Hence the term, 'loose' woman.

XL Tshirt, this is not a drill green.

It is a "go screw youself" device. Patented many years ago by Thomas Edison, who was patenting anything he could, he was told by George Westinghouse to go screw himself. Edison ever a quick thinker, and closet pervert, set his staff to the task of making a device so that he could screw himself. The picture above is what they came up with.

This device connects to the side of your banquet or sideboard. It is used to reverse someone else's plans. It is used to turn the tables.

Could it be a canal lock key, used for opening the hatches that allow the water to flow in and fill the lock and raise the boat.

Just a thought.

A ratchet key or wrench for loosening screws/nuts opening valves at very inaccessible places?
