Okay, silly question, but it's got a bunch of plastic "pins" on one side and you press into it, sending them forward, making an impression on the other side.  Some people like use it with their faces (or hands).  Seen them a lot in sci-fi movies where they'll have an entire board set up with this with the "pins" resetting to form a picture of something elsewhere (like in the first X-Men movie, Man of Steel, to  name a few.)

Pin Art or Pinscreen is what I believe it is originally called.

There was a couple in the 30's who used large pinscreens, we're talking hundreds of thousands of pins here, to make animations.

Haunting, but strangely beautiful.  (Of course anything based on Night on Bald Mountain could probably be called haunting.)

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
