Jedi Master's Hand-Made Lightsaber Stolen

First time accepted submitter psiogen writes "Flynn Michael, an instructor at New York Jedi, an organization that teaches 'practical knowledge of how to use a lightsaber, left his custom-crafted blade for only a few imperial minutes, but when he returned, it was gone. From the article:'“Who steals somebody’s lightsaber? It’s like stealing someone’s toy out of the sandbox,” said Michael, the founder of New York Jedi, a stage combat performance group. “I finally got my uber custom saber, and then some jerk walks out with it."'"

    Alephel (Hermes Trismegistus, Abu Musaf Jabir ibn Hayan, etc.) has a stick with a gum wrapper and a pair of sunglasses wrapped around it. The gum wrapper is the inspiration for "tight enough to press a piece of coal into a diamond and then squeeze it flat", the broken sunglasses are featured in a large percentage (eg. Terminator, Matrix, Mummy, Con Air) of popular Hollywood movies to signify the portion of the movie at which the descendants of Noah run out of money and the real rich heavyweights must step in to finish the script.

    Your lightsabre is clearly not the real real thing.
