It's once again time for our collaboration with the wonderfully entertaining What Is It? Blog. Do you know what the pictured item is? Can you guess? Or can you make up something totally wacky?
Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many guesses as you'd like in separate comments. 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, see? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?
See more pictures of this item at the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!
Update: the pictured item is indeed a bicycle stand. Anker was the first with the correct answer, and wins a t-shirt front he NeatoShop. The funniest answer came from kkirkpat, who said, "It's a fancy banana stand. And everyone knows, there's always money in the banana stand!"
Well, that's certainly good for a t-shirt! See the answers to all the mystery items at the What Is It Blog.

Thinking about the entire universe not continuing on is a very unsettling thought!
But you know, I think this a case where the information is nice to have for science and posterity, but not worth thinking about in your average daily life. It's a matter of relevance and perspective. I mean if I even thought about everything going on in the Middle East at this very minute, I don't think I'd be a functional person. Let alone the universe coming to an end!!!
Acknowledge the information and move along, because you can't skip out on rent and tell your landlord "well, the physicists just figured out the universe might end soon." (though it is sorely tempting to try)
It just goes to show that the more you know the more you know you don't know. The rest of the story, that is.
When we know all of the story we will be very, very old. I'd say that now we are adolescents with room to grow. The act of growing being voluntary, of course.
