What Is It? Game 148 - Neatorama

W00t! It's time for our weekly collaboration with the always entertaining What Is It? Blog. Can you guess what this strange contraption is used for?

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Please post no URLs or web links - let others play. You have until the answer is revealed at the What is It? Blog tomorrow.

Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest but ultimately wrong guess will win T-shirts from the NeatoShop. Please write your selection alongside your guess, otherwise you forfeit the prize, mmkay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirts, Funny T-Shirts, and Artist-Designed T-Shirts categories?

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

Update 8/6/10 - the answer is: A Finger Protector for use by a dentist so that he doesn't get accidentally bitten.. Congratulations to PaperCat who got it right first. Congratulations to Galen who made me chuckle with "Gonzo's nosepiece from "The Muppets Go Medieval" starring Troy McClure."

Is it part of a flexible, stainless steel gutter to attach to your car to mix with the exhaust pipe for extra steam when it rains?

It could be an exhaust tip for a semi.

That's a pretty inspiring collection! I just finished a case mod which was inspired by simple practicality, but I think it looks cool nevertheless. I detailed it on my VOXIGO blog.

You should add my PC mod up there, the Sega EXODUS. Core 2 E8500, with an nvidia 9800 GT, 4gb DDR2 ram, and some wicked mod parts, all built into a Sega Genesis+CD Zotac featured it in their 2nd blog posting. Also a video on youtube.
