What Is It? game 187



Once again, it's time for our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog. Do you know what the pictured item is? Can you make a wild guess?

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

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

Update: The item in question is a tool that was used to make cavities in bullet molds during the Civil War, sometimes called a bullet mold cherry. Electronix and Winslow both knew the answer. One was a little earlier; the other was more specific, so we are giving t-shirts to both of them! The funniest answer came from rob, who said,"It happens to be part of an ancient game. Originally called Paleolithic Roulette, it's played much like today's version of Russian Roulette. It is spinned (like a dreidel) and whoever it lands on gets the pointed side rammed into their temporal lobe." For that, he also wins a t-shirt!

I believe it is the world's second-worst sex toy.

For my prize, I would like the XXL Schroedinger's Cat: Wanted Dead And/Or Alive t-shirt.

(The world's worst sex toy, as everybody knows, is Megan Fox.)

These are the earliest examples of dental implants made by Mo-Larr of Eternia. In Skeletor's youth, he had quite a sweet tooth, but never brushed his teeth, so he would commonly require root canals. Later, as his teeth degraded, he would require implants in order to preserve his bite alignment, jaw bone and beautiful smile. As Mo-Larr's prosthesis making skills improved, Skeletor's implants were upgraded, so that he has the smile we know and love today.

Megatron's Instagram pic of his poop. He swallowed the coin pictured with the poop as a toddler Decepticon, before it finally worked it's way out. He was so excited he just had to post it.

In Greek Mythology, Jason (from the famed Argonauts) was tasked to plant dragon's teeth, so they would sprout into fully-armed soldiers. These three teeth, sadly never sprouted, becoming the only remaining evidence of the Truth of these ancient stories.

These are dice for the now forgotten medieval game of Truth-or-Wedgie. This game was staggeringly popular during the reign of Ethelred the Unready, but the fad ended when people started to realize that the dice nearly always came up 'wedgie.'

Johannes Gutenberg's second invention, after moveable type for printing, was a set of graphic objects for creating posters and presentations. A kind of hand-crafted Powerpoint. These are three of the "3D arrows" offered in the set of moveable objects.
He also used a rectangular wooden frame to isolate and move such objects in groups, as well as a 'lasso' of rope to isolate and move objects that were irregularly distributed.
