"W00t! It’s time for this week’s collaboration with What is it? Blog. For this game, the first of the year 2008 (and because I missed most of last month’s), let’s make this extra fun: Guess what this strange contraption is for and win a Free Neatorama T-Shirt!"


I think a lot of us know what this thing is.  The guesses from all the non-phone-obsessed people on that site are funny though.  I posted what it is so I guess I might be getting a free t-shirt out of it!

Aw man.  I didn't win shit.  Someone else already guessed it.  I never win anything.

Fixed.

Can those open modern payphones? That looks extremely fabricate-able.

You still need regular keys to get the coin box out.  The T Key is more of a handle to pull it out.

Oh I figured, it doesn't look anything like the picks I've seen to get the box itself out.

Lawl. That reminds me of the big goof by the shitheads at Diebold. They put a picture of the keys used to open their electronic voting machine and a "hacker" (Fortune's words, not mine) took the picture and used it to make a key to open the machines.

Diebold machines are shit. I watched a 2 hour documentry about how some random woman h4x0r3d her way into an unsecured FTP server and downloaded the source code for Voting Machines.exe!1

But since when have ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES and CHANGED VOTES ever messed up an election?

Last 2600 had a simple way to rig an election in Manitoba.

I give up. What is it?
