Okay. I think this is the sort of thing that belongs in the webcomic section.

Also, ancient statue discovered by Nazis is made from meteorite:

And what powers does it give? :smallsmile:

What else could it do...? I take two. :smallbiggrin:

I shall have to counter the xkcd comic with the following.

Warning, TV tropes link below. (Having been warned the relevant info should be under the real life section as well as the general description of the trope).

Of course with different varieties of meteorites, getting one that's a poor choice for sword smithing is a possibility.

Of course, Sir Terry Pratchett (another author 'moderately' well-known for his fantasy writings), made his own star metal-infused sword when he was knighted.

That is how "The Press" of Christchurch, New Zealand headlined that article. It made World Wide Words newsletter section of badly misworded quotes.
