What Is It? game 323

Hey look! It's time for our collaboration with the wonderful What Is It? Blog! Do you know what the object in this picture is? It doesn't really matter if you do, because we are looking for the funniest guesses. You can win a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! But first, read the rules:

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Two winners who submit funny and/or clever (albeit ultimately wrong) answers will each win a T-shirt from the NeatoShop.

If you guess the correct answer, you'll get a big pat on the back.

Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?

This ia one of several mystery items of the week at the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!

Update: The mystery tool is an ice pick. A serious ice pick. Your funny answers were good, too. One came from tchitchou, who said, “That's an old device used to curve bananas. This version is no longer used because workers were cutting their fingers too often. A round version is now used.” That’s good for a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! Phil and Buster had a winning answer, too: “This is a device my third grade teacher used to demonstrate the difference between a dull ache and a sharp pain.” Ha! Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone who played. See the answers to all of the mystery items of the week at the What is It? blog.

It's a manual bagel reamer. It was used to bore holes into freshly baked bagels until Albert Einstein realized it was easier to put the holes in before. His discovery allowed him to found Einstein's bagels in 1996.

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...
