It's a clever torch stand. If it's empty, you put your (long) torch in the top hole (stabilized by the bottom hole). If there is already one, you slide it two notches down instead and pivot the whole device (so it's balanced). Same with the third, but pick/pivot out of plane with the others. Works with one hand, keeps houses from burning down, great widget.

It's obviously a dry spaghetti measuring device. /s

This was debunked - the claim was based on scale replicas being good for knitting fingers for gloves, not a full-size one.

(Also does snyone know wtf are these even called, so I can look it up?)
