W00t! It's time for this week's collaboration with What is it? Blog. For this game, the first of the year 2008 (and because I missed most of last month's), let's make this extra fun: Guess what this strange contraption is for and win a Free Neatorama T-Shirt!
Two ways to win: 1) the first correct guess and 2) the funniest/most creative (but wrong) guess!
Place your guess in the comment section. One guess per comment and please post no URL (let others play). You can submit as many guesses as you can think of. For more clues, check out What is it? Blog.
Good luck!

If the muscles grow stronger they hang increasing weights on the hook (like keys, or a towel, or anything they want)
As a man I can say: it's an object no woman should be without.
