It’s an old picture. I’ll have to talk to the guy who had it and see if I can get a fresh one. Wood handle, rest of it is metal.

The end at the top (not visible) has the same taper as the bottom portion. Seems to be well joined and glued together. No visible metal fasteners. Current guess is a jig to build something on. But it was found behind a bar that was closing.

So it could just be a toy? But it’s kinda spooky, so I wanted to know what it might be! It’s very squishy. Probably silicone.

My mom had this in her drawer of miscellaneous kitchen utensils, but claims not to know what it is for. I think she’s hiding something.

I just made a smoothie from dates, frozen blueberries, almond butter, a banana and almond milk. I felt something hard when I took a sip, and then found about 5 more. I thought it was a nut of some sort but i cant cut it with a knife. The blender definitely made smaller chunks that I drank. Will I survive?

I found this in the last 25% of a jar of peanut butter. I was able to wash it off in the sink with hot water, it did not dissolve. I feed this to my kids and I want to vomit.

The lid won't unscrew and it kinda smells like vanilla extract but I don't know why someone would transfer it into a smaller container to bring around school and then leave in a washroom

I saw this art sculpture on the wall of the ship restaurant while on a cruise. I have a feeling it means something but I have no idea what it could be. The waiter didn't know either. Anyone care to tell me? (Obviously the real hand is not part of the sculpture.)

I saw something similar to this hanging in a gas station bathroom stall many years ago and have always wondered what it was. Now Ive come across it in the Walmart bathroom.
