Welcome to the weekly open thread, where the NerdLove internists and residents get to take over the comment sections for their own nefarious purposes.
The latest book in the Magic Ex Libris series by Jim C. Hines has been released and I’m enjoying the hell out of it. So this week the suggested topic: what is the one device, object or souvenir you would choose if you were able to physically remove it from a story? There are some limits: certain objects have been sealed off for being too powerful such as the One Ring, Palantir, the Time Turner, the Infinity Gems, etc; you cant retrieve living or sentient beings (this includes dragon eggs and Bob the Skull); and it has to be able to fit through a window the dimensions of your average paperback or hardcover.
For me, there’s no question:
(Mostly because power rings require their battery and you get one or the other, but not both).
So let’s hear your choices in the comments.
You know the rules: no hate, no spam, no trolling. Have fun!
