[eelixduppy]

Remember, you have to tell what it does or find a link that explains what the object does. ;)

What is this?! [i131.photobucket.com]

Good luck!

Lilliabeth, this still doesn't mean you cannot host it on Monday ;) Feel better!

[eelixduppy]

I guess this is why we do it on a Saturday, huh? ;)

Here's a funny picture [i131.photobucket.com] to get this thing kicked off! hehe

[jecasc]

The top of a bayonet.

[trillianjedi]

Does it go on your finger? Picking out a bad knitting stitch or something?

[eelixduppy]

hehe, nope.

TJ, yes, actually.

>Picking out a bad knitting stitch or something?
no

[trillianjedi]

Is it for playing a stringed musical instrument?

[eelixduppy]

> string instrument

no ;)

[trillianjedi]

Hmmm..... is it for putting holes in something?

[eelixduppy]

nope. The only thing you've said that is correct is that it goes on the finger :)

[jecasc]

An antique device used for poisoning people. Probably from the middle ages. You put it on the finger and then prick your enemy while handshaking with the poisoned tip.

[eelixduppy]

LOL! - your funny pic [i131.photobucket.com]!

[trillianjedi]

Is it used in helping to make something, or helping to deconstruct something, or neither?

<Man you're fast on the refresh button hehe ;)>

[eelixduppy]

neither

>> refresh button

yup ;)

[jecasc]

Is it used in some sort of handicraft? Sewing for example? Or for making holes? A shoemakers pricker?

[eelixduppy]

No crafts - at least in the sense you are talking about ;) hint hint - although you won't get it until the end...hehe

[jecasc]

Won't get it until the end. When I am dead? Perhaps a device for the seemingly dead. To dig yourself up from your grave when you have been buried alive?

Or a tool for marking the spot where the nails are put into the coffin?

[eelixduppy]

LOL! - no. The end of the gizmo quiz ;)

[jecasc]

A sex toy of some sort?

No. I got it. Your wedding ring!

No seriously: Is it used as a tool or for protecting the finger?

[eelixduppy]

ok ok...I'll give some kind of hint

hint: the device is used to "hold" something

[jecasc]

Is it used in hunting? To carry the shot birds?

Does the little hole serve any purpose or is it there just accidently?

[eelixduppy]

I do not believe the hole serves any purpose. If it does, none that I can see. As for hunting, no. Not used for hunting.

[jecasc]

Is it used in some kind of sport? For example climbing?

[eelixduppy]

Nope, no smokes for you ;) hehe

[jecasc]

Is it used for holding multiple shopping bags?

[eelixduppy]

> shopping bags

No; think smaller than shopping bags - fingers, even.

[inbound]

I was going to suggest it was part of a splint but thought that was wrong, that holds a finger.

[eelixduppy]

Nope, not a splint. No medical purpose at all. If anything, the object it holds is hazardous.

[grandpa]

Does it have a medical application?

Oh well, forget that idea...

[jecasc]

When it's used to hold something - does that mean holding in the sense of impaling something on the pin or in the sense of hanging something on it.

[inbound]

is it a cat?
