Mystery object
What's this?
Today, I have a little mystery for you to solve! I know, I know – you really are very grateful to me for jumpstarting your grey cells, right?
See that mysterious object? No, not the number 15. A bit lower…
Not that low… that’s actually the neighbours’ garden rubbish if you must know.
Think vertical! See that object dangling from the number 15 – the object with the two grey handles sticking out of it? Yes – that one!
Here’s the puzzler of the day: What is this weird object?
If you guess correctly, then your reward is a raised eyebrow and a big packet of cosmic cookies.
Hmmm…..I would guess that it is something that you use to grab high things…..what those things may be I have no idea!!
There is an award for you over at mine

Well, duh, it’s a divining rod that you use to find water, which is very scarce where you live.

My guess would be a trash picker but i’m weird like that.

My guess is that it’s a tool for for pulling up dandelions. I’ve never seen one with the double handles before, but it’s about the right length anyway :-p
May 14, 2009 at 11:29
I think it is a bug squasher…. no need to bend over to smush that bug…just get him with this!
May 14, 2009 at 11:52
SirPe, How big are your dandelions?? do you live in giant land or something?
May 14, 2009 at 11:53
A very large pencil with safety handles.

it’s a slangbella or a huge double straw for drinking!
May 14, 2009 at 11:59
nonono I didn’t mean slangbella, slingshot, I meant…. slagruta? the thing you use to look for water and gemstones.

MT: You’re thinking of a divining rod.

I’m thinking of a whole lot of other things than how to hang my photographs
Why’d you have to post such strange photos – why, I ask you, whyyy? 
May 14, 2009 at 12:27
It’s a nail puller. For pulling nails that are very, very far away, or that are close to something smelly.

I haven’t a clue.

I’d guess a diving rod, too. I always thought they were made of wood, though….
That must be one of those new-fangled magic water finder things.

I think it is a kind of tool used to pluck some fruits? Maybe one part of the other end is missing. Make sense? lol
May 14, 2009 at 13:46
That, I guess is a moper or duster, the one used to clean floor.
You can have a good laugh if I am ridiculously wrong.
May 14, 2009 at 13:54
A tool to take your boots off? A gutter cleaner? A sanitary hand-shaker to ward off flu germs?
May 14, 2009 at 14:27
It looks a little like my Reacher, for grabbing things from the top shelf
May 14, 2009 at 14:58
Oh per-lease! Don’t you know I’m not well?!
OK then, is a skipping rope with an erection?
I told you I wasn’t well.
May 14, 2009 at 15:06
Jump rope?
May 14, 2009 at 17:19
Oh the possibilities, a rubbish holder downer..oh no that would be TOO obvious. How about a feeble looking walker for a feeble person..maybe on ice. Some kind of a duster or cleaner that is naked..as in missing the actual duster or cleaning parts. I can’t wait to find out!
May 14, 2009 at 18:02
Tree pruning clippers, I reckon.
May 14, 2009 at 18:16
It’s feet for a very tall Mr Potato Head.
May 14, 2009 at 18:27
what she said.
May 14, 2009 at 18:41
Is is, a leaf picker upper, a rubbish picker upper, a back scratcher, a nose picker??
May 14, 2009 at 19:18
It’s for handling venomous snakes, of course!
May 14, 2009 at 21:29
Hmm. I’m stumped. I can only guess the utility in this contraption lies in the tripod-y thing at the bottom.
May 14, 2009 at 23:35
It’s a walking stick with two floppy gray feet.
May 14, 2009 at 23:52
I think it’s a jump rope. But that can’t be right. It’s a hooky thing, to grab or hook something. A hooky thing.

The great big fuzzy thing in the second photo, was a poppy.
Don’t have a clue what that thing is.

Antena for signaling life on other planets. Final Answer.

Looks like something with which to pin down a snake!
May 15, 2009 at 09:10
It’s a snake catcher.
Oh ok I read today’s post
)) lol…

Yes, I’ve already seen the answer but my first guess would have been something like an IUD for an elephant. What?
