Prehistoric spear

prehistoric spear

This is an ancient, aerodynamic spear, which someone made fairly recently in prehistoric times. It's one of those time travel wossnames -- paradoxes, yeah, that's it. Anyway, it's basically a stick with a tooth stuck to one end of it. If you have a wooly mammoth to slay, it's your best option.

References

• The use of the word "wossnames" could refer to Sandman #18, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," in which the fairy Peaseblossom refers to his portrayal in Shakespeare's play, saying, "It's one of those wossnames -- travelogue? Nah... Travesty. That's it." Neil Gaiman later referred to the use of the word "travelogue," which didn't exist in Shakespeare's time, as an anachronistic paradox suited to a fairy, who lives outside the timestream.
• The use of the word "wossnames" and the phrase "made quite recently in prehistoric times" could also be a reference to the discworld novel The Last Continent, in which Rincewind goes to an australia-like world and has it explained to him by a kangaroo how everything there is ancient, but wasn't there the day before.
