Once again, it's time for our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog! Do you know what the object in this picture 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 each win a 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?
There are several additional pictures at the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!
Update: the mystery object is a corn sheller. There's more information about it at the What Is It? Blog. Berhard was the first in with the correct answer. The funniest answer came from sandyra, who said:
It's an Amish 'electric' razor for taking off the moustaches on the men (and some women, if you know what I mean). Since the Amish don't use 'electricity' they get it to rotate by hooking it up to a giant waterwheel.Both win t-shirts from the NeatoShop!

Unveiled in August of 1967, mutilated riders were somehow able to see past its playful misnomer "The Tickler", and the FCC (Fredrick Community College) ordered the ride dismantled a mere hour after its grand opening.

"Corn Sheller. A corn sheller is one of the most convenient and labor-saving implements that the practical farmer has in use. Various machines for this purpose have been invented. The most improved and best adapted for common use are those of Harrison, with the patent vertical wheel. It can be employed in all cases for large or small size ears. It is very simple in its construction and durable in its operation, and no way liable to get out of order. One man can work it to good advantage, though a man to turn and a boy to feed it works better than one alone. In this way it will shell ten to twelve bushels per hour. They are so light and portable as to be easily removed from place to place, and one machine will serve for several families, or even the inhabitants of a small town."

And I although I do not use my surplus of shirts to clothes the homeless, I do pass them on to my fashion-backwards friends. I tend to give them as impromptu "I won this for you" gifts. It makes them suspicious, and I like that.
I love this game.
Maybe only registered users ?
Maybe only 2 entries, (1 for "real", and 1 funny) ?

But no. My answer is of course, this is a Ped Egg. Before TV, QVC and CVS peddled it as an option this early version took the horns, corns and flaking, dying skin off the work worn feet of farm women everywhere (sometimes as stated above a whole village). Too poor to afford shoes? Husband kicking you out of bed for calloused scratchy feet? Embarrassed to show your feet at the watering hole? This prehistoric Ped Egg to the rescue.
