Discarded Images

This certainly looks like an ad for the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but it was published about 1305. Discarded Images is a collection of medieval illustrations and manuscript illuminations that cover the entire range of what could be seen and/or imagined in the Middle Ages. Many of the images are NSFW. Continue reading for some funny examples from the site that are SFW. Link -via Metafilter

It is a "tool" used by Fathers to insure their daughters are safe when a young man came to call. The Father would sit in the living room detroying zucchini with the tool while discussing the "date plans" the young man had for his daughter. While technically illegal, most fathers will support other fathers in the community with an alibi, should the need arise.

Flea comb for Wookiees & Wampas. Just insert limb and drag down to get rid of those pesky critters. That is what Han & Chewie did during their down time for relaxation.

This is a fine example of an early American grape peeler. In our country's infancy, only the well-to-do could afford someone to peel their grapes for them. This handy tool brought grape peeling to the masses.

Looks like what is known as the Giant's Jar Opener. Jack brought one down the beanstalk with him ages ago. Mrs. Giant often had trouble opening the giant jars of fruit and vegetables that her husband would bring home so she created this little machine. Works every time.

It's a caber-tosser, for the ladies. Like a ladies golf tee, a bit closer to the green, this little tool grabs the cabers, to give the ladies a bit better chance in the 'toss.

It's a medieval orange-juicer. It did the same job as modern juicers, but the modern juicers looked too wimpy next to the iron maiden, so they used this bad boy.

It's like a hot pad for wooden pails of boiling water. Handy during Halloween times, these worked wonders picking up the wooden precursors of the iron cauldron.

Jim Henson's first attempt at a minimalist Kermit, while a compelling smile it put the kids off and it was decided to add the felt and the ping pong ball eyes.

Rutabaga Juicer. Simply grasp the rutabaga, squeeze and shake, fresh delicous rutabaga juice, just like grandma made before she went to the home, after they found those bodies. The ones with no heads.

It is indeed a: 'Dr. Frommer-Richtenstein-Smith's "Fiendishly Clever Nutcracker"'.......(okay, minds out of the gutters, now.....We all know what rhymes with Frommer!!!!).
1. Place a walnut, pecan, beezenberry nut, a.k.a. 'nut of choice', on a plate.......
2. Adopt a menacing look while approaching nut with this, (and maybe doing a little 'snick-snick')...
3. Voila ! The nut will completely jump out of its shell !
As The Institute likes to say: "Needs no crackin' ; sends the nut's clothes packin' ! "

This is actually a religious icon on Dune, similar to, say, a crucifix, but signifying a sandworm. Can't think of anything funny to say about though, other than the fact that it probably works on vampires as well as a crucifix, but only because they see a certain usefulness in it (see ArcadianGrace's entry).
