What Is It? game 323

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. 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.

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?

This ia one of several mystery items of the week at the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!

Update: The mystery tool is an ice pick. A serious ice pick. Your funny answers were good, too. One came from tchitchou, who said, “That's an old device used to curve bananas. This version is no longer used because workers were cutting their fingers too often. A round version is now used.” That’s good for a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! Phil and Buster had a winning answer, too: “This is a device my third grade teacher used to demonstrate the difference between a dull ache and a sharp pain.” Ha! Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone who played. See the answers to all of the mystery items of the week at the What is It? blog.

It's a manual bagel reamer. It was used to bore holes into freshly baked bagels until Albert Einstein realized it was easier to put the holes in before. His discovery allowed him to found Einstein's bagels in 1996.

Yes, this mirrors my own research on moths, which demonstrates that their main habitat is the immediate vicinity of candle flames and lightbulbs.

Seems to me, since skunks are more commonly around smaller country roads, there should at least be some varieties with yellow stripes rather than white. :)

Come one poeple. If you didn't know this was a joke, then I invite you to help me hunt some snipes, hoop snakes and some jack-o-lopes. Also, did you know that cows that graze on the side of a hill have shorter legs on one side?

Travis, this was written by my father, drawing by my sister, and yes, it is a joke. It makes me really sad that you didn't know for sure that it was. Sure it is stupid, it was meant to be. What kind of researcher would use a song as their only proof of a theory? I'm going to go cry for you.
