What Is It? Game 154 - Neatorama

W00t! It's time for our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog. Can you guess what this ...thing 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. Post no URLs or weblinks, doing so will forfeit your entry. Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest (albeit ultimately wrong) guess will win T-shirt from the NeatoShop.

Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?

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

Update 11/7/10 - The answer is A Japanese traveling candlestick, it's missing the part that would have caught the wax. Oskar got it right first, but didn't specify a T-shirt. Congrats to Cristal who made laugh with "Mr. Burns' liver spot locator."

This is a very exact book marker. Simply point arm exactly where you leave off in you amazing book. Now go make that grilled cheese sandwich you were thinking about for the last hour. Come back and you'll know exactly where you left off!

This is a 19th Century Irrelevant Argument Augmenter. When someone is in favor of doing something irrelevant and their counterpart claims "There's no point!" the protagonist can put this on the table and reply "THIS is the point!"

Craziest thing. Like one commenter said : it's best if you don;t try to interprete.

It makes sense to me; our modern industrial society is out to get us, we have created a world that stresses us out, that harangues and harasses us, that invades our every concious moment until we go insane.

We can't tell where it ends and we beings, it's to the point that if we try to objectify it and see it for what it is, people think we're crazy.

A quote from the director...

"The film is sort of an observation of mine on how a lot of people function in society. The creatures in Terminus don't really exist. They're in people's heads, but the people try and function like nothing's wrong. They're sort of metaphors for living with anxiety or unresolved issues and trying to ignore it rather than deal with it."
