Guessing Game Winners:
What is it?
Yesterday's comments are some of the best ever!! Amazing ideas, great and I mean great creative responses!! I cannot decide who the creative winner is! So I'll let you decide out of these top five:
1. "It is a
device for men to learn how to tie bow ties." Guessed Jonathan from Napa.
2. "It's a
hand held helicopter. You yank on the string (in one version) or turn
the nob (in the other version) then you hold it up like an umbrella. The
helicopter wings turn and take you up up up to the balcony or the
window of your lover to kiss them. If Romeo had this device, his
monologue under Julia's balcony would have been sealed with a kiss." Zosia's guess.
3. "An early
mammogram machine! lol
"..stick them in here and stand still!" Guessed, Lucy Rodgers.
4. "Isn't it
obvious that it's a model for shaping one's mustache" Michelle's guess.
5. "Dunno
but what I DO know is marriage. We celebrated 34 years! Now carry on with your game :)" Said, Linda.
6. "It’s a
Glockenspirlerygig. It is a 19th century toy invented by Belgium Monks
to use as an amusement when the head Monk left the monastery to buy
supplies and visit the taxman in the city. The younger monks carved it
from a discarded broken church pew.
You wound the string around the brass bit and then spun it on the
stone floor. Thousands of sparkly lights and colors would fly on the
walls and the monks would trip the light fantastic and dance about
merrily to the tunes in their heads. It was an early form of a Disco
Ball." guessed Cynthia Wolff.
7. "It's a
Vampire dispatcher.
The top one comes with an added music box to attract the Vampire, then
you wip out the silver tipped pick to dispatch it *nod*
the bottom one you, need to sing by yourself for attraction, but comes
with the added bonus of a string to sling it from afar, again silver
tipped for better effect.
The colorful mirrors are to catch the first rays of sun to let you know,
you're safe for another day…" Guessed Christina
Melanie is the one who guessed it correctly and named it as well:
It is for
hunting and is called "miroir aux alouettes " , it is to create a
diversion for birds (alouettes ).
Way to go Melanie!
