Check out this and other mystery items of the week at the What Is It? Blog. Have fun and good luck!

Update: the mystery items is a steak branding iron, used when grilling for marking steaks Well done, Medium, or Rare, the fourth side had a John Deere buck logo. Craig Clayton had the answer right off, and wins a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! A lot of folks had fun with the M and W, which stands for a lot of things, but the funniest was from trishlovesdolphins.

That's The Dark Lord, Voldemort's old seal. Back when he was called "Morty" he would dip the hammer in wax to seal his correspondence. However, too many people mistook the M for a W and started calling him "Worty." This lead the the immediate torture and death of many, and thus "Voldemort" was born.  

That's certainly worth a t-shirt! The answers to all the mystery items of the week are up now at the What Is It? blog. Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone for playing along!


It is a restroom door stamp- For the finishing touch to a new restaurant you need to know if it's a women's room or a men's room.

It's a device used to mark the letters "M" and "W" from Sesame Street for easy identification. This will foil their attempts to evade capture by flipping upside down and passing as the other.

It is a gender preference forehead brand. M for men, W for women...No more uncomfortable situations brought about by being hit on by the unpreferred gender at bars or parties- Now, everyone will know which way you swing!

Well, you see, this is a brand. But not for livestock. It's a brand for students of the College of William & Mary. You see, the school is amongst the oldest in the United States and they needed an easy way of identifying their students. They'd fire this sucker up, brand a W on the left butt cheek, a M on the right butt cheek and they'd always be able to identify students who mooned the staff.

:P

Hey, that's my dumb-thunker. It is a valuable tool for a professor to have, although mine is a little out of date. It has my initials on it, an M and a W...when someone says something exceptionally stupid in class I thunk them on the head twice, once with each side, then the rest of the professors and students know who called them out. Every professor has one, although not everyone uses it judiciously...I have known some Philosophy teachers to just thunk everyone on their way into class to prove a point, and some overly-kind science teachers who seriously believe that "there are no stupid questions" ...I know, right? The newer models (I really need to update mine, some of the students are making fun of how retro it is) have unified initial plates, for single thunk marking (that would save sooo much time, plus you wouldn't have to chase down the "runners" who try to dodge the second thunk), and there's even a new line of laser "thunks" that I don't exactly understand because there is no thunking involved and the student feels little more than a tingly burn when the laser thunk is activated. Call me old school, but I think it should hurt just a little bit. How else are they going to learn to keep their dumb comments and questions to themselves?

a colonial mallet from one of the first "Whac-a-Mole" games; thus the "W/M". in the earlier days, they clubbed live moles. :/

It's a brand for cows that get slaughtered for fast food joints. This one is for McDonald's and Wendy's interchangeably. The two unseen sides have a B for Burger King and an H for Hardee's. It's small because they like to brand the fast food beef when they're babies so you'll never get seared flesh in your Big Mac or Baconator. It's shaped like that because, in order to distract the veal when branding, it doubles as a rattle so they can heat it up, shake it and know how much cattle belongs to which burger joint.

It's Walter Matthau's personalized meat tenderizer.
