Yeah, what the heck is this thing?  I ended up spinning my wheels until I was told the origin of this photo.  Let’s see if you guys can figure it out

Drop your guesses in the comments below!

 

Looks like some kind of armor doesn’t it?

Here’s a nifty picture I came across a few days ago that had me scratching my head until the nature of the image was revealed to me.  Maybe you have the imagination to discover the secret of this photo…maybe you don’t.  But I bet you have fun trying to figure it out!

Bang out a reply in the comments if you think you know what it is.  Don’t wait too long to guess…I’m not one to let people twisting in the wind ;)  Good luck!

I bet when you were a kid you used a more advanced version of these all the time, when you entered the workforce you probably used it less and less. In my advanced age I can’t even remember the last time I used one, though I’m pretty sure my wife has one in her office.

Let’s hear your guesses in the comments.

Holler if you want more pics of different versions of this device to help you out.

Here we have two versions of the same object, don’t herniate yourself if you struggle with it, though if you have a wild guess then let’s hear it in the comments. Don’t be bashful.
