pismonque's Comments

I had a friend way back when who worked for an auction house. He told me the auctioneer would incorporate within his banter instructions to house staff on the floor whose purpose was to subtly encourage or goad particular bidders identified by the auctioneer as susceptible "marks." He said the instructions were simple codes and identifiers that were only noticed by house staff and the object was to drive up bids and, therefore, the auction house's cut. Of course, for all I know the guy was full of crap... but he wasn't a sort given to self-aggrandizing or conspiracies so I always gave it a certain credence.

This was an arm-mounted perch, used by finer pirates to avoid the unsightly problem of parrot poo on the epaulets. A value-added feature was its usefulness as an auxiliary weapon in a pinch.

Pretty sure it's a tapeworm trap. Tapeworms can't resist slaloming through such things (they're born slalomers) and once they're halfway through, you extract the trap, tie the ends together and dispose of properly. The hook and chain have to do with extraction but I intentionally glossed over that part.

Well, it used to be a robot centipede, before some cruel little fiend pulled all its legs off and made it into a keychain. Some people shouldn't be allowed to have nice things.
