  1. Upon close inspection, that appears to be *** *** *** … I think.


  2. That’s easy, you have it probaly at home.


  3. AlmostThere, the tradition is to NOT suggest answers in the comments. Hopefully Alan will censor your hint.

    In any case, it’s bound to be a contest with 500+ entries for being so simple. Too bad, that’s a gorgeous multitool. I suppose I’ve still got better odds than the lottery.


  4. Well 1 in +500 sure is better then 1 in +-5.4 bilion


  5. Simple; its a strand of DNA for the new cyborgs coming out later this century.


  6. @noah
    The cybermen are coming! 😮


  7. Count me in.


  8. I think Alan should disable commenting for Name That Thing posts.


  9. it’s an egg beater, surely!


  10. Alan;

    I guess I thought that was an obscure enough reference that if you didn’t already know what it was, that wouldn’t help. Sorry.

    Good Luck!
