Can someone tell me where my 9mm wrench got to? I just set it down, and now it has apparently vanished into some alternate reality. My garage isn't THAT messy, is it? Ted -- Ted Bennett |

Ted Dear Ted, Was your wrench perhaps just a plain, simple wrench with no apparent markings, unless you tossed it into a handy fire? When I looked for it, I found only a somewhat corrupted voiceover from a movie that I haven't seen: http://www.silywily.com/fellowship.html Much that once was, is lost. For none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the great wrenches. Three peanut-butter wrenches were given to the Campagnoloans: immortal, wisest, and fairest of all beings: http://www.excelsports.com/new.asp?p...endorCode=CAMP Seven spoke wrenches to the Shimano lords: great minds and craftsmen of the mountain halls: http://www.rei.com/online/store/Prod...jpg&view=large And nine. Nine dogbone wrenches were gifted to the race of BMX riders: who above all else desire power. http://www.sports-center.biz/cycling...ing_866534.htm For within these wrenches was bound the strength and will to govern each two-wheeled race. But they were, all of them, deceived. For another wrench was made. In the land of WalMart in the fires of Mount Fury the dark Lord Fogel forged, in secret, a master wrench to control all others: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=4810721 And into this wrench he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all threads - one wrench to rule them all. One by one, the local bike shops of Middle-Earth fell to the power of the wrench. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of BMX riders and Campagnoloans marched against the armies of WalMart. And on the slopes of Mount Fury fought for the freedom of Rec-Bicycles. Victory was near. But the power of the wrench could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Jobst, son of Leland, took up his sword. Fogel, the enemy of the free peoples of Rec-Bicycles was defeated. The wrench passed to Jobst, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever. But the hearts of men are easily corrupted. And the wrench of power has a will of its own. It betrayed Jobst to his death. And some things, that should not have been forgotten, were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years the wrench passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer. The wrench came to the creature Bennett, who took it deep into his garage. And there, it consumed him. The wrench brought to Bennett unnatural long life. For five-hundred posts it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of Bennett's garage, it waited. Darkness crept back into the bicycle-paths of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the West, near the Rockies, whispers of a nameless fear. And the wrench of power perceived. Its time had now come. The wrench abandoned Bennett. But something happened then the wrench did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable. A local bike shop owner. Sheldon Brown of West Newton. For the time will soon come, when local bike shop owners will shape the fortunes of all. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tork-grip.html Cheers, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Peter Jackson |

There are no alternate realities. All of the other realities are but shadows of this one; if the wrench has fallen into shadow, you must walk the pattern to retrieve it. My garage isn't THAT messy, is it? It's a garage. Therefore, the answer is probably "Yes." You didn't wash the wrench, did you? Some wrenches can shrink if you wash them incorrectly. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email. Words processed in a facility that contains nuts. |

do the wrenchs cluster?
sometimes you'd be missing wrenchs or wrenchs 6-12 but not 12-15 then they reverse direction and you find... or all the flat screwdrivers are gone but phillips are everywhere then the phillips disappear and flat.... but if you have 3 leg pullers... then you needa exorcist |
