Maxwell's Silver Hammer

Maxwell's Silver Hammer This hammer is perfect for (bang! Bang!) bringing down on someone's head, and making sure that they are dead. If you're the type to spend late nights all alone with a test tube, you'll notice that the head of the hammer is magnetic. Thus, if you rotated it in a coil of wire, you'd make electricity! It's almost like magnetism and electricity are the same thing. Type: weapon (1-handed club) Damage: 17 - 33 Muscle Required: 67 Selling Price: 180 Meat. Mysticality +10 Weapon Damage +10 (In-game plural: Maxwell's Silver Hammers)

    • A couple of the attack messages have their inspiration from the song as well, specifically the lyrics "Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer / Came down on her head / Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer / Made sure that she was dead" and "Rose and Valerie, screaming from the gallery / Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free) / The judge does not agree and he tells them / So, o, o, o."
  • The "insides are out and its outsides are in" attack message is a reference to "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey".
