Now That's A Heatsink!

It's identified as a dual core CPU heatsink...but I really have no idea what it's for.

LOL...found the article the image came from. The Inquirer had a article making fun of the fact that the new dual core Intel CPUs are said to be very hot running and will require massive heatsinks. I like artsy heatsink on the bottom.
