Lots of animals use tools: dolphins teach their young to use sponges to protect their noses from sharp coral, herons fish by dropping "bait" onto the surface of the water, apes prepare sticks for termite-fishing (in advance) and birds like crows and ravens can innovate new tools on the spot.

I missed 74 countries, but found that my typing them slowed me down. I could certainly name them faster. Also, I tried "Congo" and "Democratic Republic of Congo" but it wanted "Democratic Republic of THE Congo". I also couldn't figure out why it wouldn't accept "Zimbabwae" (there's only supposed to be one "a", and I didn't have a chance with "St. Kitts" (It wanted "Saint Kitts"). It didn't accept "Federated States of Micronesia", and since when is New Guinea not a country? Some countries I knew but didn't have a hope of typing. You try to spell "Kyrgyzstan" without a reference.

It's the base of a boxing dummy or speed-bag.
