Unexpected Ballet

A pair of New York street dancers prepare to tumble and breakdance for the crowd at Washington Square Park. But when they turn the music on, instead of hip-hop, the strains of Tchaikovsky’s "Sleeping Beauty Waltz" came out! What to do? There was nothing to do but dance!

It soon became clear that these guys knew what they were doing. They are professional ballet dancers, as were the two women they pulled out of the crowd to dance with. This is the latest stunt from Improv Everywhere, which they performed several times for the changing crowds that afternoon. Read the details of the caper at their website. A good time was had by all. -via Buzzfeed

It's a thing for getting Boy Scouts out of Girl Guide tents.

These days they're part of the Scout Master's penknife, but this was from the Good Old Days when men were men, boys were boys and Girl Guides had strong thighs and wouldn't let go.

My guess it's a device for cutting into people's skulls (trepanation, I think its called). They used to do this in ancient Egypt and sometimes in the middle ages to cure people from mental illnesses...

This is a betchel key. Before the popularity of gunpowder in the military field, torsion spring siege devices were very popular. However, on rare occasions peace would break out just as medievel artillarists were prepared to fire. What to do? Its very difficult to unload a cocked trebuchet. This device solved the proble. you simply inserted it in the paul socket and slowqly unwound the torsion arm.

More often though, the srtillarist would just yell 'WHAT?' feigning momentary deafness, and pull the trigger lever.

I think its a deearor I think I spelled that wrong but after you kill a deer you insert that into the anus and twist so you can pull out the intestines and feces without having to worry about nicking while butchering the animal
