Stuck in a Washing Machine - Neatorama

Eleven-year-old Trinity Rhoades of South Jordan, Utah, played a game of hide and seek with her sister and cousins Tuesday. Trinity decided to hide in the washing machine, but once in, she couldn't get out.

Her sister and cousins tried remedies they recalled from cartoons. First they used butter to lubricate her legs. Then they tried using peanut butter. Then they resorted to ice, which only left the girl cold, so they then poured warm water over her. The children finally called Trinity's mom, who called emergency services. They found the girl not only stuck in a washing machine, but "wet, cold, and covered with condiments."

They eventually had to cut the dryer from the top of the combo unit, and Trinity was freed. She has some bruising on her legs, but is otherwise uninjured. -via Arbroath

I think that the pic and end of the article didn't load correctly on my ipad. That seems to happen pretty often, so tech fail = my bad. I would reply but I can't do that either, I'm sure it's an iOS compatibility issue which is again likely due to not updating.

Really? I thought "cut the dryer from the top of the combo unit" and the picture made that clear.

Before reading the corresponding article I was wondering why it was so difficult to get out and why no one had thought to tip it on its side. The article makes a very important point the recap does not: it was a stacked machine with a dryer over it.

I believe it is a applicator for whale oil to be used on sheet metal.

I think this is an early attempt at an automatic pet treat dispenser. Unfortunately, the noise it made as it worked scared all pets away. Trophy Husband XL

I expect it to be a very strange oil heater/lamp even though the wick does not show any traces of soot

It is the earliest known repurposing attempt archaeologists have yet discovered. After a prison was closed, a guard took two shackles & two tin cups and repurposed them as a thingimybob!

It is a shoe-remover with a counterweight built-in, so it won't flip when you remove your shoes.

That's a whoitwhatsit. Cause, the person who made it didn't know what the hell it was either.

It's a house-arrest shackle for a Franklin stove. Like they're hard to chase down.

Some sort of floor wax stripper would be my guess.

That's one example of Victorian era mudflaps for horses. See the little hole in the flap? That's where the brass naked lady used to be attached.

It's an old victorian codpiece. Notice how it can open for either your night out with the town's ha'penny trollop, or to check yourself for the Clap afterwards

This is actually a male chastity belt used in an amazon society. The chastity may be removed only in times where reproduction is required by a virgin princess.

I don't know what it is exactly, but I'm pretty sure there's currently quite a few hipsters having a brain-hernia trying to figure out how to wear it!

I think when people butcher their own pigs and chickens, they use a torch to burn off the hair, so this could have been used for that.

Early prototype for a flame thrower artificial hand replacement. Sort of like how Ash had the chainsaw hand in Army of Darkness. Unfortunately it didn't shoot the flames very far and wasn't very useful in holding off the legions of evil.

I believe it could be a machine tool oiler for a historical machine in or around the civil war era.
