I know no one wants this, but I'll post it anyway.

Due apologies to all.

Sorry to bother you with this. I know you don't want this, but I don't care.
The Hand of Glory in Action!
Hand of Glory, burning bright ....
(not yet)
(and apologies for the untidy table)
A hand of glory is an artifact of European sorcery: the pickled hand of a hanged criminal that holds a candle made from that criminal's fat. Its candlelight temporarily paralyzes everyone who sees it save the person wielding the hand. The hand is often used for robberies.
