So, how detailed do we need to get with this one? I know what it is, and what it’s used for. But do I need to give a description beyond the basic, generic name?

Hey Josh,
Just the common name and what it is used for is all that is needed. No need for a make or model this time.

This is too easy, EVERYONE knows that’s a timemachine, used for traveling on time. 🙂
To be honest, this seems little harder than few past “Name the Thing Contest” pictures. That’s good thing.

Darn, I covered up the date selection knob in the front of the device. That was the dead give away, with that gone I didn’t think anyone would get it. 🙂 I try to mix some easy contests with some harder ones. Seems like I have limited success with that thought though…
