Okay! Judging by the number of comments, this collaboration w/ What is It? is a big success!
Dave & DJ, I thought someone might check that, so I did scrub the pic. :) Maybe next time I'll leave a clue here and there (or even the wrong clue, just to make it more interesting). Or maybe not.
Re: Object 1. It's a wire twister (patent #338,659). You can look it up here. The closest answer is Ron's (#25), so he'll get a Neatorama T-shirt.
Re: Object 2. Deerhorn knives seem to be the most likely answer, but there are a couple of things that's not right: the object is tubular, not flat like a real deerhorn knife. And the object is quite heavy, so it's unlikely that it would that useful as a real weapon.
Nevertheless, Rob and I think that it's close enough. So, congrats to Mongo (#8). Unfortunately for Sylvain (#3), it's not called Chinese crankiness weapon and plus the rules did say "don't post urls."
Also, contrats to Link Right 2, just a handful of blogs that link to this post (and got a free t-shirt b/c of it!).
The tour lied about "they'll let you in up close" - they don't. Not anymore anyways. Still, I was glad I got to see it, albeit from a distance.
I agree that Bath is a lot more fun! Try the Sally Lund Bun when you're there!
