You know those bloggers that post a challenge on their blog say, (guess what an unborn baby’s weight will be at birth) and offer the closest guess an unnamed prize. Or the ones that ask you to answer personal questions like (“Have you ever stepped up to the urinal in a public restroom and discovered you had your underwear on backwards?”) and then expect you to post your answers for everyone to read.
Well, I have a little quiz with a real prize. Take a look at the device in the picture.
Things you should know:

It works very well
It vastly improved our quality of life
The Questions:
What’s it for or do?

The prize:
You get the device. Must be picked up. No delivery. No shipping.
In the event of a tie, earliest entry wins.
I will award the prize and supply the correct answers on or about May 1, 2010.
The odds of winning have been calculated as 1 in 16 brazilian

ReplyDeleteOk,
ReplyDeleteSo here goes nothing. I have been doing some research, not so much, but believe this if you may. I grew up with a swamp cooler for air conditioning and it required the water to be pumped out of a reservoir and ran down over the filters to help cool the air sucked into the unit which was blown into the house. I believe the device you have here is a substitute for the original pump and was used to supply the water over the filters. The 2x4 was used to hang the device as so it was within range of the plugin and was close enough to the unit. The pump that is being ran by the electric motor was made in or around 1969.
Really a soil tamper? I would have used a 2x12 if it was a soil tamper! :)
