Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Is it used in cooking?
Is it / are they used in industry?
Is it mobile?
Is it a construction of multiple parts?
[Darren et al] Sorry, didn't mean to complain - what is well-known to one person may be obscure to others. It did explain why we found it so difficult though.
Typically see while driving: No.
Lift it: Yes.
Cooking: No.
Industry: No.
Mobile: Yes (but not under its own power).
Construction of parts: Yes.
Is it bigger than a breadbox?
[Finger traps] I've heard of them, but didn't think they were made of wood. Normally it's straw or leather.
Bigger than breadbox: Yes.
Is it closer to being rectangular or circular when viewed head-on ?
Er...no.
Is one likely to encounter it/them in everyday life ?
[fingertraps] They can be (and are) made of all sorts of things, which is why I had to be so vague about it. I would have thought everyone would have heard of them. The thing is, it's hard for one person to tell what everyone else has heard of without asking explicitly beforehand. Still, someone got it in the end which is what counts.
[irach] Most people won't.
Meteorites?
Meteorites? No.
Powered by electricity?
No.
A container of some sort?
Yes. (amusement in the audience)
Is it associated with substances not normally mentioned in polite company?
No.
(The audience's amusement was due to the fact that "a container" is so precisely accurate a description that only a child would spontaneously think of calling it one.)
A chastity belt?
A pair of handcuffs?
No, and no.
Are they normally found above ground?
Yes.
Does it have any moving parts?
Let's see.. Metallic... Man made... On earth...Not used in cooking...Not used in industry...Made of multiple parts...Not typically seen when driving... Can be lifted...Not likely to be encountered by most people in everyday life...Not powered by elecctricity... Normally found above ground... Container of a sort (likely to induce chuckles)... Hmm .. sure sounds like a metallic bra by Jean-Paul Gaultier as worn by Madonna, but probably isn't.
Moving parts? Yes.
Metallic bra? No.
Industrial use, in a broad sense?
A waste paper bin?
Industrial? No.
Waste bin? No.
Clue yet?
Clue? Go on.
Try and find out its size.
OK - what size is it?
only kidding. Is it smaller than the Malaysian Peninsula?
Is it larger than the New Forest?
