Oh, I know what it is.

It's a wiz-gibbet-axellated-clog-megizer.

Main use is to axellate one's gibbets.

MikomDude · Post by **MikomDude** » 24 Dec 2014, 22:21

Is it an overcomplicated bling-ified miniature folding lawnchair?

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 25 Dec 2014, 02:46

It looks like a mechanical or electronic device. It has jewels for decoration. Part of it could be a hinge. I think it is a printer or scanner. Scanner more likely because there is not room for paper.

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 27 Dec 2014, 17:13

Good guesses but not even close.

The answer is..."A $550,000 belt buckel"

Valued at a staggering $550,000 the Calibre R822 Predator is undoubtedly the most expensive belt buckle in the world. Curious why it’s called the ‘Predator’? Well, its Swiss creators say they chose the name simply because it “eats up every other belt buckle out there!”

The Calibre R822 Predator weighs 145 g, and is made of 18-carat solid white gold and titanium. It is adorned with 387 baguette-cut and round-cut diamonds, amounting to a total of 14.15 carats. But what makes the world’s most expensive buckle really special is its intelligent and innovative design. The mechanical buckle is made of 167 components, making it very similar to a high-quality, complicated Swiss timepiece.

It comes loaded with a host of high-tech features such as self-cleaning mechanisms and safety catches to minimise accidental release. Its ergonomic design enables the wearer to close the belt with ease and also loosen, tighten and change out the leather belt effortlessly. However, the $550,000 price does not include the belt. You’ll have to buy that yourself.

Item Number 2

What Is It?

Hint: Robin Williams is the subject but not the answer...

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 28 Dec 2014, 03:40

The brush looks normal although details aren't clear so I think the surface being painted on is the thing. I'll guess it is a new type of electronic drawing tablet/computer input device that lets you use real paint brushes. Evidence opposing this idea is that the surface would probably emit light but there is none on the hand and there are shadows on the surface.

Another guess. It is an artist creating a movie poster.

jamesmc · Post by **jamesmc** » 28 Dec 2014, 13:17

spacekdet · Post by **spacekdet** » 05 Jan 2015, 15:47

Thing B is the equivalent of a favorite, patched, bandaged stuffed animal, except it's a baby beaver's favorite stick.

Thing A: I don't know what it is except that I, too, have one much like it that I picked up in a rock shop. Some sort of man-made metallic mineral thang.

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 05 Jan 2015, 19:44

I think thingie 2 is a rug beater or a measuring tool.
Thingie 1 is tougher and I notice moister in the photo, so some kind of water purifier or moisturizer?

MikomDude · Post by **MikomDude** » 05 Jan 2015, 20:44

Number one looks like some sort of water-utilizing musical instrument or a modern art piece?

Is number two the legendary original Piñata stick?

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 05 Jan 2015, 21:28

jeje, piñata stick.

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 06 Jan 2015, 02:15

This is a great game you made Steinie! The guesses are as interesting as the items.

Thing A is a bismuth crystal so Spacekdet is right including that it is man made. The crystals are not know to form in nature.

Thing B is a mulamu (moo lah moo). A fighting stick used by people in Lesotho -- a small country surrounded by South Africa. I got this one as a gift from someone working with schools there.

Never hit a pinata that has bees coming out of it.

What IS It

Thingie #5 ?

No cheating this time........JAMES!

MikomDude · Post by **MikomDude** » 06 Jan 2015, 15:24

Is it called the "ten yard buzz saw"? If not, it should be.

jamesmc · Post by **jamesmc** » 06 Jan 2015, 22:00

I'm pretty sure that's used for vasectomy.

The rusted sprocket was a give away...

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 08 Jan 2015, 17:45

This one would have stumped me too!
Answer for "What Is It?" Thingie #5

Because gunpowder varied in explosive power, gunsmiths needed devices to test particular batches. By the 1500's, elaborate powder testers were available. This one resembles contemporary military pistols and may have belonged to a military gunsmith. Pulling the trigger ignited a measured amount of powder in the tube atop the tester, turning and locking a spring-loaded, numbered wheel. The number at which the wheel stopped indicated the powder's strength. The development of self-contained cartridges during the 1800's made powder testers obsolete.

Is it a really clever disguise for dromedaries?

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 11 Jan 2015, 18:33

Is it a safety restraint that limits the animal's movements so it can't do this?

Is it for medical purposes?

Is it clothing so dumb-ass muslims don't get horny from seeing a naked camel?

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 11 Jan 2015, 21:55

Some of your answers cracked me up however since I am a Cartoonist I'll refrain. There are nuts out there....
Yes a racing Camel and clothing keeping the Camel warm after the race is the correct answer!

MikomDude · Post by **MikomDude** » 13 Jan 2015, 08:31

I thought that was a sleeping compartment in one of those Japanese hotels until I saw the car-belt to the left. Now I would guess it's a sleeping compartment on top of a touring bus.

Everyone is right that it is in a vehicle. James is most right because he said in a plane. It is the secret crew rest compartment for a Boeing 787. link

MikomDude · Post by **MikomDude** » 17 Jan 2015, 19:02

What's this then hmm?

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 18 Jan 2015, 01:06

The moving parts look like some paper thing I remember that expanded or unfolded. Don't quite recall what it was but it looked like that material. So I think it is a paper sculpture or paper clothing.

The Asian guy is a mystery. I'll guess he made the paper thing.

spacekdet · Post by **spacekdet** » 18 Jan 2015, 18:14

Finis, maybe you're thinking of the paper turkey Thanksgiving decoration with the fan-out tail feathers.
At least, that's what I was thinking.

The Asian guy is thinking: 'if that turkey were any bigger I could move in and use it as an apartment.'

It is a smallpox vaccination needle.

jamesmc · Post by **jamesmc** » 18 Feb 2015, 16:21

Kind of reminds me of a tool for changing a stylus tip for a Wacom pen.

That would be SO handy! I need that tool!

FHembree · Post by **FHembree** » 19 Feb 2015, 23:20

Don't know why but I think it is an automotive tool for adjusting brakes on cars.

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 20 Feb 2015, 01:18

Cool guesses!

Really, it is a smallpox vaccination needle. The vaccine was cow pox, milkmaid's disease, not smallpox. A doctor noticed that people who had cow pox were resistant to smallpox so they used that much less deadly disease for the vaccine. Smallpox is extinct now except for samples in highest security laboratories in the USA and in Russia. Those of us old enough to have been vaccinated have small round scars on our shoulders. Mine has healed so that I'm not sure which shoulder it is on now.

Now someone post a new What Is It?

I thought it was part of a musical instrument that tightens strings. But the point on the end wouldn't be needed for that.

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 01 May 2015, 19:46

First impression is wifi speakers but there is a hinge at the top. Second impression is stylish water heaters ... but hinge at the top and the crinkle paint surface would be very rough at that size.

How big are they? The hinge looks appropriate for a small item not a water heater size item. From the crinkle paint scale looks like they are about a foot (30.5 cm) tall plus or minus a good bit.

The two dots and a plus markings could be decorative, informative, or functional. If functional then at least the dots could be buttons to push. If the plus is informative then there is probably a minus. Since the objects open on their hinges into two halves the other (non plus) half probably has two dots and a minus.

Opens into a plus half and a minus half, about a foot tall, needs at least two button controls. Hmm.

I'll guess they are portable wireless speakers or other sound related devices.

What Is It?

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 16 May 2015, 03:04

I like this game. Thanks for starting this Steinie.

It is obviously not a machine that makes Viagra.

- The, ahem, dangly thing, is probably a handle. If so then that indicates its size.
- The tip of the handle, the bottom of the fin to the right and the enclosure on the left look like they would allow the object to sit on a flat surface. Maybe it should be upright when stored.
- There may be two gears which indicates that at least two parts inside rotate.
- There is a box on the nearest part on the left. There may be one on the right also. They don't seem useful for structural strength so they have a function. Do they hold something that is made or something that is used?
- There is a rectangular opening on the top between the two round things inside. Something goes in or comes out there.
- There is a tab at the base of the handle possibly used to remove the handle.
- The object is asymmetrical having a large side and a small side. A large gear and a small gear would increase power or speed depending on which gear is turned.
- What powers the rotating parts?
- It looks like it is made to be portable.

Since there is little room to store anything made or material to make something from. The round items inside could be like spools. There could be line or string on one and it works like a fishing reel.

I'll guess that it is a dispenser for string or ribbon, since the opening is rectangular, that works like a fishing reel.
