What Is It? game 319

It's Thursday, so you know what it means, Neatoramanauts: it's time for the What Is It? Game, brought to you by the always amusing What Is It? Blog.

What is this thing in the picture? Your guess can win you a free T-shirt of your choice from the NeatoShop! Here's how to play:

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, but you can enter as many guesses as you'd like in separate comments. Post no URLs or weblinks.

You might know what it is, but if you want to win a t-shirt, you'll have to use your imagination, because we are going to select two winners who give us the funniest incorrect guesses. If you guess right, then good for ya - but you don't win anything, mmkay? So, it's up to you, funny people: you have twice the chance of winning that T-shirt.

Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize. We highly suggest you take a look at the NeatoShop's new selection of Funny T-shirts and Science T-Shirts.

Ready? Go for it! Visit the What Is It? Blog for more pictures of this object.

Update: the mystery object is a corn husker, according to patent number 27,638, "...it both strips off the husks and severs the ear from the stalk." We also had some funny alternate suggestions for its use. Jaguarfeather said, “New evidence has emerged that sea life evolved through its own Iron Age. A rare specimen fossil of the high-arched metallic dorsal Clampfish has recently been excavated near Iron Bay, BC.” That’s good for a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! And e6c has this to say, “It's my wife's nose hair tweezer... (for the love of God, I hope my wife doesn't see this post)” Well, you might be in trouble now, because that’s a winner! Thanks to everyone who played (all the answers were great), and thanks to the What Is It? blog!

This Hare-raising tool is a Happy Bunny Carrot Slicer. Every professional bunny breeder or rabbit rancher or warren warden, rodent roper, or whatever they're called has experience with rabbits with toothaches. There's nothing more heartbreaking than a bunny that can't dig into a nice crunchy carrot because their tooth is broken and they just don't have the incisors for the job. While waiting for the tooth to grow back in, this heavy duty but precise tool lets you thin-slice a carrot so the rabbit can gum it down.

This is a medieval strawberry huller made for the most robust of crops. Proving, once and for all, that any dental damage was in fact due to their rock hard diet.

It's a Mother's Helper. Whens a mother's sons become misbehaving, uncooperative teenagers, she just clamps it their ear and drags them to their rooms. Also, serves a dual purpose as a juicer for oranges, lemons, etc.

This is a section of old quarter inch sewer line which became clogged. It was replaced with a three inch line along with a new commode. So far, everything is flowing fine.

The item shown is a turtle hook also known on the Eastern Shore of Maryland as a "turkle prougue". It is used to hunt for hibernating snapping turtles in the winter and early spring. In "turklin", one walks through marsh and shoves the straight end into the mud of muskrat leeds to hit the shell of the turtle and uses the hook end to pull the sleeping turtle out of the mud and places it in a burlap bag. The snappers are either sold or eaten by the hunter. Turtle pie is mighty tasty.

It's a dental pick for removing charred detritis, annoying humans, and toxic plaque from Godzilla's choppers. It also serves to remove dirt and grime from between wrinkles.

This is an Ancient Egyptian brain removal stick for bodies that are a little to far along in the decomposition process. There's no need to lose your lunch when you can stand further away. The bulge in the middle is to extend distance of the brain removal stick.

It's the tool of the "Slingshot Puller". On the first aircraft carriers, the sailors used this to pull back the giant bungee that launched jets off the runway.

Bad Vaudeville acts would often see their time on stage ended by a shepherd's hook jerking them around the neck and back "behind the black." As burlesque and other Vaudeville favorites return to our modern stage, we see litigiousness and political correctness impacting yet another aspect of our lives. Gone is the hilarious giant hook 'round the poor player's neck. Today, a sub-par act on a new Vaudeville-esque stage will find themselves gently pulled by the thumb by a soft thin hook, as though they'd simply changed their mind about performing. The color makes it invisible to the audience and the length prevents anyone from seeing the operator's traditional uniform: a red-and-white vertically striped shirt and a straw boater.

This is a segment of iron fishing line with attached sinker for deep deep DEEP sea fishing. It is most commonly used when the average fisherman wants a chance to catch a Kraken but needs his fishing line to reach the bottom without being moved about by underwater currents or whales

Godzilla's Q-tip for reaching straight through both ear holes at the same time. See? Clean as a whistle and the breeze blowing through his head makes a nice sort of creepy sound...
