Today's Gizmo [galagalaxia.com]

You don't need to find the exact URL, but I want you to tell me what this particular gizmo is, what it is part of (the name of it), and who invented it.

[werty]

Looks like a "train whistle"?

[DrDoc]

Not a train whistle.

Here's your funny [galagalaxia.com].

Is it used to build a deck Railing?

[DrDoc]

Not used to build anything. It is part of an already completed product.

But you get a funny [galagalaxia.com] for that answer. :)

[lawman]

Crown Moulding. :)

[bunltd]

Another funny [galagalaxia.com] for you.

I wasn't sure how helpful that first image would be... But, since the guesses haven't been too close (except for the material ;)) -- here's a hint with a bigger picture [galagalaxia.com].

I still want to know the name of the "big thing" on the left, as well as the thing as a whole. And, who invented it...

[lgn1]

is it part of a puzzle?

[DrDoc]

lgn1: Not a puzzle.

But you get another funny [galagalaxia.com] for that guess

puzzle is sort of the right category though

[lgn1]

Looks like stairs in a box.

Build your own stairs complete with risers,treads,ballister and railing.

[DrDoc]

stairs in a box

Good guess ;) now, wouldn't that be something!

But no, much smaller than that (and not used for building)

Here's your 3rd funny [galagalaxia.com]

[SuzyUK]

a game?

[DrDoc]

SuzyUK: It is most definitely a game... Now we just need the name of it, and that big thing on the left... :)

You get a funny [galagalaxia.com] for figuring out it's a game.

[jimbeetle]

Does the inventor's name start with "F"?

[DrDoc]

> inventor's name starting with an "F"

No. Well, in fact, I don't know. We don't know the name of a "person" inventing it -- it was invented by a people.

But, you deserve a funny [galagalaxia.com] for your guess.

[encyclo]

Is it a toy steam train? - The big thing on the left is the chimney where the steam comes out, and the other parts make up the rest of the engine...

[ScottM]

Balinese rubik's cube?

[DrDoc]

Not a toy steam train.
It's a game.
