Whether obvious or not, they are there. If you take a look at some of my previous ones, you'll see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) similarly to onetruth with electric shaver as my guess. Remington used to make those as well as firearms. can sorta connect with some other references but still especially hung up on (in a good way of course) that fif(e)ty one! EDIT: part of my spoiler popped out of the tags somehow. never had a spoiler malfunction like that before Edited March 18, 2010 by plainglazed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 onetruth Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 an automatic,remote operated,circular vacuum cleaner Welcome to the Den, clinton! Please remember to place your guesses in a spoiler box so that we can keep guessing if another person gets the right answer (even though I think most of us peek!). Thanks and have fun!

0 Guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Love a lot of the guesses being bounced around here, but so far, none have come out as correct. PG, you are getting the idea of using historical facts for help. However, help for the last line? No comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 could be an mri, versus an x-ray. Does fifety-one refer to the company Fifty One that handles cross border exchange? Or to the idea that nations supporting any of the US policies are somehow a 51st state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Ah... That good old fifety one! How about this as a help, seeing as there have been no correct answers yet: 51. does that make it clearer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest
I spin, I beep and buzz and zoom!
Until the job is done
And when that time is close at hand
I cut and stop the run.
Unlike those who came before me,
I am not cross, you see.
I have a feature, nice and tight.
It's called a lock, no key.
I was made with others for a time
My parts, just like the gun.
I'm sold in many nations now,
but not in fifety-one.
What am I?
