What Is It? game 226



Once again, it's time for our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog! Do you know what the, um, object in this picture is?

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many times as you 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?

Check out the What Is It? Blog for more clues. Good luck!

Update: the object in question is a fence twisting tool, it's for applying the vertical or stay wires to the lateral wires of a fence, patented even. The first person who figured out what it was for was theoneoneandonly. The funniest answer came from trishlovesdolphins, who recognized her Mother's Day gift:
This is the gift my husband gave me on Mother’s Day morning. It was so romantic, as I was receiving my card from my son, I heard him mumble “aw, crap.” Obviously, he forgot to wrap it. He ran out to the garage, he must have hidden it well because I heard all kinds of boxes being tossed around. I’m afraid to ask him what it is since he obviously put so much time and effort into choosing it, so if someone knows, please let me know. Right now, I’m just using it as a paper weight.

Both win t-shirts from the NeatoShop for their efforts! See the answers to all the mystery items of the week at the What Is It? blog. Thanks, to everyone who played, and watch for another What Is It game coming soon.

Its a homonculous extractor. in the early 20th century people complaining of depression, anxiety, nervousness were recommended to have a homonculous extraction. When they agreed, this device was brought out and they were instructed to disrobe and lie on their backs with their legs in the air. Not much is known as to how the device was actually used, but people never asked for a repeat treatment, so it must have worked.

Bob Dylan claims to have turned down multiple opportunities to meet Elvis. He didn't want to see the washed-up '60s version of his "powerful, mystical" hero.

Dylan was quite surprised when the Beatles told him they had never tried marijuana before. He told John "But you sing 'It's such a feeling that my love I get high' in your song I Want To Hold Your Hand.".

John laughed and told him "The line is 'I can't hide'."

This article has numerous errors. Number 6 being the most egregious. I don’t think I need to go over the mountain of evidence that Dylan plainly confessed to being a Christian in 1979 and that he continues to follow this road today, albeit a little less overtly. As Dylan sings “for all those who have eyes, and all those who ears, It is only Him that can reduce me to tears.” The Apostle Paul, himself a converted Jew, explains what it is like when you are given the eyes to see and the ears to hear the gospel, He says:

"But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed."

And almost as if designed to blow up the thesis, of Seth’s Rogovoy’s book, "Bob Dylan Prophet, Mystic, Poet," where he tries to show Dylan has returned to Judaism after a brief "Christian Period." This book came out in the fall of 2009, Dylan releases a Christmas album! That really had to hurt. And then when several reviewers of the Christmas album notice that Dylan is singing the Christian Hymns in complete seriousness like “O Little Town of Bethlehem” they are prompted to ask Dylan if he is signing these Hymns as a true believer in the Christian gospel (the Christian gospel is the good news described in the hymn as “the hopes and fears of all the years”). To which Dylan replies in a promotional piece for public consumption, “I am a true believer.” Then add to this that Dylan is at this same time beginning to open his fall tours with the song "Change my way of Thinkin’" where he is proclaiming in very clear, and not to be misunderstood language: “Jesus is Coming, Coming back to gather his Jewels.” This is certainly not anything your typical Jewish believer would ever be willing to confess. To proclaim this message one has to have gone over… to have done the unspeakable…..to have become…and he remains a Christian.
