7. Wikipedia Says:

The blivet is an undecipherable figure, an optical illusion and an impossible object. It appears to have three cylindrical prongs at one end which then mysteriously transform into two rectangular prongs at the other end.

Blivet has numerous other meanings, explained below:

Military usage
In traditional U.S. Army slang dating back to the Second World War, a blivet was defined as...an unmanageable situation, a crucial but substandard or damaged tool, or a self-important person.... During the Vietnam conflict, a heavy rubber bladder in which aviation fuel or POL (petroleum, oil, and lubricants) was transported was known as a blivet, as was anything which, once unpacked, could not be replaced in its container.

In various United States Air Force communities (e.g. Strategic Air Command), blivet may have referred to what are euphemistically called "Special Weapons" whose presence are officially neither confirmed.

On Edit: The confusion was mine. I thought the issue was the meaning of 'blivet.'
