SW Trivia time: what is the name of the staff-like things that the tusken raiders use?

Tenacious D has begun recording music for their upcoming film, Pick of Destiny. Here are some other interesting tidbits of news: It was uncertain whether Boston could host a convention for minority journalists in 2008 because the city has a law requiring that all Native Americans who enter the city be arrested. The US Senate approved $82 billion in emergency funding for the war (just think what I could do if they gave that money to me instead). Children in the western world were hitting puberty earlier, often at age seven; researchers suggested that this was due to indifferent fathers, childhood obesity, exposure to pesticides, or watching too much television. In Brazil, a man and his parents were murdered when the man lost a real-life role-playing murder game. Australian researchers were working to clone the extinct Tasmanian tiger (finally a worthy use for cloning! Hooray! First Tasmanian tigers, next woolly mammoths!). Wal-Mart apologized for running an advertisement that equated current Arizona zoning ordinances with the Nazi regime. Researchers at Cornell University developed a robot that can build copies of itself from spare parts (Janet are you listening?) and in Utah, a high school teacher brought his class to see the dissection of a live dog. “I thought,” he said, “that it would be just really a good experience.”

I want to watch Raiders this afternoon, for obvious reasons.
