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? You can win even if you don't know!
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?
Check out the What Is It? Blog for more clues. Good luck!
Upodate: the pictured object is a Scandinavian nutcracker. The first with the correct answer was Anker, who wins a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! The funniest answer came from Thom1, who guessed it to be a steampunk Pac-Man! So Thom1 also wins a t-shirt. Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone who played this week! Also thanks to the What Is It? blog for providing us with this contest. See the answers to all this week's mystery items at the What Is It? blog.

Nasty Vulcan characters? The series clearly depicted a social revolution on Vulcan that included a direct analogy of the gay rights movement in the 20th and 21st Century West. It was very clear that the social direction of Vulcan was moving toward what appeared in TOS. There's no inconsistency at all. The Enterprise writers told the backstory of Vulcan to viewers in the 2000s in a way that fit neatly into its predecessor made in the 1960s.
Yes, the last episode was a holodeck episode from TNG. A fan theory that the entire series was a holonovel is feasible. But dismissing the entire series as poorly-written . . . well, Trekkies are missing out on some great stories if they don't watch Enterprise, particularly in the final 2 seasons.
I've never seen a poorly written holodeck program, but there are more than a couple crappy holodeck stories. I've also never seen a holodeck program/story that didn't include one or more Enterprise crew members.
