W00t! It's time for our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog. Can you guess what the strange tool above is used for?
Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Post no URLs or weblinks, doing so will forfeit your entry. Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest albeit ultimately wrong guess will win T-shirt from the NeatoShop.
Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, mmkay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?
For more clues, check out the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!

This IS the right answer, though most governments would have you believe otherwise, so if you don't pick it, I understand...big brother watches me too. However, if you acknowledge this as the right answer I would like the amp-bear-sand in chocolate and a large size.
