in a sci-fi series i read by brust that doesn't use traditioanl technology, he replaces the lightbulb aesthetic with sword-sharpening:
how many easterners does it take to sharpen a sword?
- four: one to hold the sword and three to move the grindstone.
how many Dzur does it take to sharpen a sword?
- four: one to sharpen the sword and three to put up enough of a fight to make it worthwhile.
how many Yendi does it take to sharpen a sword?
- three: one to sharpen the sword and one to confuse the issue.
