Why, I query, concern yourself with with swords when one is afforded with the
opportunity of REAL POWER...?

Sayyyyyy... The Rings of Power, for instance:


THREE rings for the Elven-Kings under the sky,

SEVEN for the Dwarf Lords in their halls of stone,

NINE for Mortal Men doomed to die,

ONE for the Dark Lord on his dark throne


"Hello, do you know me? Often when I enter a lodging house or tavern, people
don't recognize me...that's why I carry the One Ring.

Wether traveling near home or abroad, it helps me bend the denizens to my
Dark Will."

-- Sauron, Lord of the Rings, in a recent advertisement

And I thought you'd mention the Tachyon Shotgun (he shoots you and
you are enveloped in polyester. . .)

What about the FIVE GOLDEN RINGS!
