"I moved into an old house and found this screwed to the power outlet. It’s warm to the touch, and has apparently been here for years. What is this?"
A: "It’s a transformer. Probably for a burglar alarm, but could be for a sprinkler controller or other low voltage system."

#8 That is a poop scooper, they are often found in penthouse suites, very expensive resorts, and wealthy peoples homes. Once you have relieved yourself, you ring the front desk and ask for the "White Glove Retrieval Service". Use the tongs to fish out your previous meal and and one of the staff will be waiting at your door with both hands outstretched, ready to whisk away your chocolate dumplings. That is actually how rich people live, their toilets dont flush, they're just for sitting and pooping. Side factoid: that is the butlers number 1 job (or should i say 2), thats how they got the name BUTler and that is why they are always seen wearing gloves
