What Is It? game 252

It's once again time for our collaboration with the wonderfully entertaining What Is It? Blog. Can you guess what the pictured item is? Or can you make up something interesting?

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many guesses as you'd like in separate comments. Post no URLs or weblinks, as 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, see? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?

See all this week's unlabeled objects at the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!

Update: Craig Clayton identified it as a spark plug, which is correct but not fully explanatory. Then JJUUSSTTIINN said these as "ninja rocks," which are broken ceramic spark plug parts used specifically to break windows. As it's a holiday weekend and Alex is feeling generous, both will win t-shirts! Learn more about ninja rocks at the What Is It? blog. The funniest answer came from Lori Cunningham, who told a Thanksgiving story:

The remnants of my grandmother's gravy boat, which I broke 20 years ago, but still hear about every-freakin-Thanksgiving when someone says, "Pass the gravy, please." At least that is what I think they are saying. I'm still at the kid's table.

So she wins a t-shirt, too! Thanks to everyone who played along, and thanks to the What Is It? blog.

If you look carefully on the side you will see a small ( J ) this is one of the very common letters on Spark Plugs J4C. This fits lots of small engines like Briggs.

Little known fact: The original McAdam (blacktop) road surfaces came in two styles. Creamy and Crunchy. This is a sample of the latter.

My best friend, Herb the pig, once bet me that he could open a bottle of Rochefort with his brand new ceramic crown premolar. I accepted. He lost.

And the Rochefort was still delicious.

What question isn't "What was it," it's "What is it?" 'What it is' would would be pieces of broken ceramic or ostrica, once used to ostracize people that the democracy of Athens felt were a danger to the state. Each citizen had one vote. They would write the name of their intended victim on such a shard of ceramic and place it in a voting box. The person with the most votes was ostracized. The most famous citizen of Athens to meet such a fate was General Themistocles who had saved Athens from the Persians just a few years before.

"ninja rock" very hard fragments of broken spark plug ceramic insulator, thrown at car windows to break them silently for burglary. Actually classified as burglary tools in some jurisdictions.

Culturally, white is associated with holiness, goodness, purity and innocence.

I expect it to be a piece of modern art, expressing the end of innocence...

Part of my broken glass/ceramic 20+ years collection to someday mosaic with. And yes, I've moved it to and from several houses and apartments over those 20+ years. No, I still do not know how to mosaic and I no longer care for the look.
