The video game phrase I was lookin’ for yesterday was loot box.
The word juggernaut comes from the Hindi Jagannath, meanin’ “lord of the world”.

Today’s Trivias

Trivia 1

The semordnilap for “loot” is “tool”, ’n’ a tool box is full a’ all sorts a’ useful stuff! Let’s pull out the ol’ tool box to see if there’s anythin’ good to ask about in there.

...

Aha! Here’s somethin’!

It’s the tip of a screwdriver, but instead a’ bein’ a classic Philips screwdriver with four ridges it’s got SIX ridges! ’Cause more ridges has gotta be better, right???

If ya wanna be careful ’bout not impingin’ on trademarks, ya might call this a star or even hexalobular screwdriver. But myself, I’ve always called it by what trademarked name that evokes the force measured by a newton-meter?

Trivia 2

Ah jeez, I got all SORTS a’ old junk in this tool box. Like, here, take a look at this!:

It’s an old-timey lookin’ object made a’ what I gotta assume is brass, with all sorts a’ circles ’n’ things on it, ’n’ maybe some kinda star chart etched into the surface of it.

Wowza, THAT’S a blast from the past! I don’t think I’ve used this guy ever since I got my sextant back in the 1700s!!

Anyway, can ya tell me what is this thing?
