Paradox Naught
Plural: Unknown
This is a hand-sized loop of wood-grained metal, shaped like the numeral zero. It represents the sum of all divisions by zero, multiplied by the time it takes Achilles to pass a hare. Seated at the conflux of a perpetual observer and an impossibly improbable probability device, this zero's paradox harms those who wish to harm and helps those who desire to help. But boy does it mess with your mind!
