Is to tell me: What the hell is this? Hint: I recieved it as a white elephant gift for Christmas. Consider it a librarian challenge. First person to get the answer recieves the respect of reference librarians everywhere. Yes, I do know what it is. I just want to see how hard it is to find out with only a picture. <edit121603>Since Catherine asked: the object is a very hard plastic, and approximately 2 feet long. The two long side protrusions are maybe 4 1/2 inches, with the two small protrusions being slightly less than 1 inch.</edit121603> <edit121703>No to both Justin and Patrick…it is neither a thing for hanging or a handrail. This is fun! Anyone else wanna give it a try?</edit121703> |

Okay, in order to answer your question, I’m going to need a little more information. First of all, what is the scale of the object? Are we talking about several inches long, or several feet? Also, what kind of material is it made of? Plastic? Metal?
Dang. Your commenting script strips out fake HTML! There should be [reference interview] tags surrounding that previous comment.
Yeah…what you meant was:

You’ve got to use the code for brackets, otherwise it interprets them.
it must be for hanging something?
Is is a handrail for handicapped people to get into a pool?
a Roto Rooter plumbing device? a trombone cleaner? No, wait! Being as my old college roommate was a complete klepto, who was known to produce everything from plywood to doorknobs to an entire flagpole in our freshman dorm room, I have to say–it looks like something that the Town of Chapel Hill uses to hang Christmas stars from lampposts on Franklin Street!! (that’s my final answer)
It’s a back massager/energizer/thing. I just bought one for my dad for christmas.
