What Is It? Game 152

Alex

Woot! It's time for our collaboration with the always awesome What Is It? Blog. Can you guess what the strange object to the left is used for?

Place your guess in the comment section. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Write no URLs or web links - doing so will invalidate your entry.

Two winners as usual: the first correct guess and the funniest yet ultimately wrong guess will win free T-shirt of their choice from the NeatoShop. (May we suggest browsing the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-shirt, and Artist-designed T-shirt categories?). Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your entry, otherwise you forfeit the prize, mmkay?

For more clues, definitely check out the What Is It? Blog. You have until the answer is revealed there tomorrow. Good luck!

Update 10/4/10 - the answer is: A beer warmer, in Germany it is thought that cold beer is unhealthy for older people, this device is used by filling it with warm water and placing it in the beer mug with the handle hanging on the rim.

Congratulations to mrsid who got it first but declined the T-shirt, and to The Professor who guessed a pole for pole-dancing hamsters!

This houses the main power coupling for the warp drive on a Federation, Constitution class starship.

(SPOILER ALERT!!) Spock took the top off this housing at the end of Wrath of Khan, saving the entire ship but killing himself by radiation exposure.

Fem, does that website "know" that they are teenage girls. And really if you go into a jungle the residents of said jungle are most likely going to be dark skinned. That doesn't make it racist.

"And what better way to demonstrate said feature than by depicting dark-skinned jungle dwellers and teenage girls in their underwear?"

People are really complaining about these ads? Seriously? I happen to think they are both pretty good ads, and not racist/sexist at all. (the one with the two girls and the guys behind them, could be deemed creepy, but I think its funny)
