SEEN ON THE INTERNET: Someone honestly believes that “axes aren’t the proper tool” for chopping wood. They have carefully gone out of their way to house rule their D&D campaign to make sure that anyone foolish enough to use an axe to chop wood will be left with nothing but “a dinged up axe with a splintered handle, and very sore hands”.

When asked if this proviso would apply even to magical axes — nay even to axes forged from adamantine! — they replied that only a munchkin could think of such a ridiculously over-powered thing. An axe chopping wood? That’s like slaying Orcus with a toothpick!

And what, pray tell, did they think an appropriate tool for chopping wood would be?

A miner’s pick.

Ah, of course. Designed specifically for all those workers in the great wood mines of the Upper Northwest, I suppose.

Did you also know that a miner’s pick was actually designed for the “exact purpose” of “disabling cars”? Me, neither. But that’s what he said.
