What Is It? game 176



It is once again time for our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog. Do you know what this thing is?

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, as 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-Shirts, Funny T-Shirts and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?

There's more objects to guess posted at the What Is It? Blog. Take a deep breath, do your best, and good luck!

Update: Anirban was first with the correct answer (but didn't select a shirt): this is a betel nut cutter. The funniest answer came from Chad Huskey, who said: According to Futurama robots celebrate "Robanukah" So in that vein my assumption is this is a device used when 8 days after rolling off the assembly line male robots have their robo-bris. For that, he wins a t-shirt!

It could be a mecical instrument for removing tissue from the human body, such as for removing warts, or even for perrorming Circumcisions or Circumcision-like surgery

It seems also possible that it is a kitchen device or cultery for opening enclosed edible content, i.e. a egg-cutter, a bone crusher or a kind of pliers for eating Crustaceans...

This is the Bedford C. Pinterbodie patented cone calibrater. After noticing the appalling variety in the diameters and performance of ice cream cones Mr. Pinterbodie invested his life savings in discovering the most efficient diameter and height of the common ice cream cone, culimating in this device to assure ice cream consumption was made with the least amount of wastage and maximum pleasure.

He died penniless in a sanatorium.

It's a garlic press and a lie detector. Once you show the spread-eagle detainee what it does to the garlic, the truth starts spilling out.

One of the early designs of the guillotine, on diminutive garden pests. It was later scaled up to human size, as it was discovered that humans were much easier to catch.

It's a betel nut slicer! My grandma used that implement to slice slivers of betel nut, which she would then wrap in leaves and chew it, not much different like how you would chew tobacco.
