Hey look! It's time for our collaboration with the wonderful What Is It? Blog! Do you know what the object in this picture is? It doesn't really matter if you do, because we are looking for the funniest guesses. You can win a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! But first, read the rules:
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 who submit funny and/or clever (albeit ultimately wrong) answers will each win a T-shirt from the NeatoShop.
If you guess the correct answer, you'll get a big pat on the back, and many thanks from the owner of this thing, because he doesn't know what it is!
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?
Also, checkout the other mystery items of the week at the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!
Update: Several people contacted the What Is It? blog to say this was used to sharpen cutters for a sheep shearing handpiece. That didn't matter to us, as we were looking for the funniest answers. One that made everyone laugh was from pismonque, who said it was an early working model of the farmship Enterprise. That's worth a t-shirt! Dennis 4 had a funny one, too: "It's a heavy metal record player. It works best playing Iron Maiden." That's good enough to win a t-shirt from the NeatoShop, too! Thanks to everyone who played along this week -all of the guesses were worth reading, so you should do that. Check out the answers to all this week's mystery objects at the What Is It? blog.

Before the gasoline engine was perfected for cars (1952) they ran on windup, with multiple rubber bands. This was very embarrassing for most people, and was a constant source of amusement for the steam car crowd. So the myth that gasoline engines worked was started and cars didn't need winding. However, they did need winding but people did it in their garage where other people could not see them. Your grandfather probably carried the secret to his grave, as did most of his generation.

Bear with me here: A carrot is inserted into the holder on top and the bunny is placed on the disc (with the appropriate grit paper having been applied to the disc surface). Once the bunny latches onto the carrot, the crank is turned, spinning the disc and tumbling the bunny over and over on the polishing surface until the desired finish is achieved.
