    Wow, where on earth, did you get a Adult Left handed whatchamacallit in such pristine condition.

    I have had one hanging in my garage for many many years now, I would not throw it out until I found out what it was for. I was working on a job site, one of the other tradesman pulled out a 5 foot long drill bit, the bit on the end was around 5/8″ and 6″ long, the shaft of this long bit was 4.5 foot long and was no more then 1/4 around steel and flexible.

    He grabbed the whatchamacallit out of his tool box and hooked it on the shaft of the drill bit to guide it and hold it steady.

    My life since then, has been complete.

    I am personally unaware of any useful purpose for the physical object pictured. Therefore it has no useful purpose. Therefore physical objects have no useful purpose.

    I call this negative induction, and it powerfully disproves intelligent design, not only of biological structures but of anything and everything. In fact the very post you are reading was not written by me, but by some chimps banging around on a word processing program as part of an elaborately (but not intelligently!) designed experiment confirming metaphysical naturalism as a law of science…

    Okay, that’s enough satire. I just didn’t want to admit that I have no idea what that object is called, what it’s for, or how it’s used. :-)
