What Is It? game 342

Now it's time for our collaboration with the amazing What Is It? Blog! What is this object in the picture? I don't know! The great thing is that you don't have to know the correct answer to win a t-shirt from the NeatoShop!

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. You might know the true answer, but we're going to select two winners who come up with the funniest, most outlandish guesses to win a T-shirt from the NeatoShop. However...

This game is limited to those who haven't won a t-shirt in the last month. Please write your T-shirt selection and the artist who designed it 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?

Let your imagination run wild! Good luck! You can also challenge yourself with plenty of other mystery items at the What Is It? Blog.

Update: We still haven’t found out exactly what this thing is for, so it is a true mystery. But we had some excellent guesses! Congratulations to ryanduck, who wins a t-shirt from the NeatoShop for this:

Clearly the first prototype of a flat screen TV mount

And to  ChrisM 1, who said,

It is a device invented by a parent of two children for ensuring that nobody's piece of anything is bigger than anybody else's.

That makes sense. Thanks to everyone who played along, and a big thanks to the What Is It? Blog!

It's a corn on the cob holder for obsessively compulsive eaters. There is a pencil in the middle so you can count and keep track of how many kernels of corn you have eaten moment by moment.

Failed prototype of a seeing eye robot head. Failed because you can see that there are outlines for eyes but they have not been installed.

Not since my Norwegian childhood have I seen one of these old-fashioned lefse rollers! It was a holiday tradition for the people of each village annually to produce large amounts of this thin, delicious, potato bread. I fondly remember my grandma loading flour and smashed potatoes into the back of this device, then slowly turning the knob to lay the lefse out on the cooking surface. When the bread was about ten inches long, she'd flick the sliding lever on the top and the razor-sharp blade inside would neatly snip it off. Woe to the child--woe I say!--would would stick his curious fingers inside to feel around. I still have a line of scars across the tips of my fingers from touching that blade!

It's a chewing gum recycler. Put your pre-chewed chewing gum in one end. Turn the knob and a fresh flat stick of chewing gum comes out the other end.

Isn't that one of those pre-digital teletype thingies for spitting out stock market activities? I think it just might be!

It is a do-it-yourself tongue piercing machine: insert tongue, roll it forward with the knob, slide the little grey button forward, voila'! You now have the power to irritate any parent you may meet in your travels by merely speaking to them while your tongue stud clicks constantly on your teeth! It sells itself!

It's a prehistoric typewriter. Before language was developed, there was only one letter in the alphabet. You would type that letter by pressing the button on top. The knob on the side advanced the paper. You could type out your story: Oo oo ooooo!
