  2. Ahhh… so we get to do the dirty work, huh? 🙂


  3. I’m pretty sure this is one of the early designs for a medieval toenail clipper.


  4. The winner will probably be chosen from 2 correct answers XD


  5. This one is easy – it’s an “Unknown Old Tool” 🙂 Actually, with a little hunting you can find it…


  6. At first I thought it was a heavy duty antique carrot peeler…


  7. Looks insidious! Keep it away from my fingers.


  8. Haven’t seen one of these in ages. I’ll give a hint. It’s a thing that does something.


  10. Hi Kozz,

    Either that or a medieval torture device. Maybe it wasn’t the mob who removed fingernails as a form of punishment!


  11. Wow Jody,

    That carrot peeler would also infuse the vegetable with lots of iron. 🙂


  12. I think you narrowed it down too far Josh. You have just ruled out the entire family of paper weights…


  13. I don’t know what it is either but I noticed my dentist has one. Next time I’m under the N2O I’ll ask him what it is.


  16. Ha! I’ve even figured out the brand name!


  18. @almost_there
    Oh dear lord. if it truly was one, you’d need 5 tetanus shots after using it.


  19. eeewww….


  20. Looks like a *** *** to me


  21. Hi Doomer,

    Please send in your guess using the email address shown. Please note that this time the contest needs proof of what it is.


  22. Just a heads up guys, if you want some good odds of winning a contest it’s looking like this one could have the best odds yet!


  23. Crap…. my bad I am so used to just having the rply option…. sorry about that!


  24. Lemme guess:
    “And the winner is: (name). There were 2 entries.”.


  25. Lemme guess:
    “And the winner is: (name). There were 2 (correct) entries.”.


  26. Sorry about the double post.
    I just realized that the above would really suck if you didn’t win, and you know you got it right 🙂


  27. i cant find it :s


  28. finally found it .. was driving me crazy.. couldn’t think of the word


  29. Any winner yet? 😛


  30. Hi Andy,

    We do have some correct answers but the contest is still on so a winner can’t be selected quite yet. 🙂


  31. Whoops! I forgot to put a link to a website for proof! Is that absolutely vital or do you have a pretty good idea already from the other correct entries? Can I email you again?


  32. Hi Redleader,

    Yes, just send in a second email with the link. I do know what it is now but I want everyone to have to provide the same type of answer so that it is fair.


  34. looks like its for stripping something..like a bark or skin..lolz


  35. Is there a winner?


  37. OK, so this contest deadline has passed… can someone with a clue tell us what this is? It’s killing me! 😉


  38. >OK, so this contest deadline has passed… can someone with a clue tell us what this is?
    >It’s killing me!

    Kozz, see Comment #17; it’s for the “Do It Yourself” type of person.
