"Found deep inside of a recliner, it’s made of glass. Green part is plastic."
A: "That is a plastic maple sap spile. Used to tap trees and collect sap to make syrup. The green is plastic hose. Modern sap collection uses these cheaper plastic taps and connects to a series tubing runs to a central sap collection point. Much more efficient and cheaper equipment than collecting each bucket."

As interesting as these posts are it still surprises me that people don't ask the ones that would know then and there when they have the chance. Especially #37 and #30 (unless found after the parents passing away of course); I'd ask the waiter/parents what the hell it was for.

#28 came with a programming book from Commodore in the 80's. You were supposed to make a flow chart of your program to illustrate how it worked/was supposed to work.
