Geek Icons Unmasked

Artist Alex Solis' Icons Unmasked series imagines famous geek icons (mostly cartoons) being unmasked as other characters. Each of the illustrations seems approriate though not always for the same reason.

He's made over 112 pieces in the series and who knows how many more he will add. You can see the rest of the series here.

It's a prototype for recycling garbage bags. Flip over gadget so prongs face up. Rinse the large black plastic bag and hang it to dry over the prongs. Future models didn't require user to hold it and rubber tipped the ends so bags weren't pierced.

This is indeed used for hay: for searching hay wagons trying to smuggle people in or out. Most smugglers knew enough to put the cargo down low enough so a regular pitch fork couldn't reach, so they invented this. It is of course German.

On the picture behind the tool a farmer(?!) is using it in a field of sunflowers it seems. It looks like he is using it as a dowsing-rod, looking for water. Or maybe he's measuring? Or planting seeds? Or killing something, like moles, or rabbits, rats, mice, and their holes?

Easy, it's a six-pronged skewer for medieval-style shishkebabs that you cook over a fire like a spit. You put the meat on each stick or you could jam a whole pig in there. Mmmm.
