My two cents, Ocause what the hell, eh? We¹re up to several dollars by now.

Call whatever you want a hammer, because I don¹t think anyone will ever
agree on a ³lower cut-off level of importance² for a hammer-worthy target.
Just include a description of whatever the ³hammer² hit, and let the buyer
decide if he/she wants to pay two/five/a million times as much because it
landed on a roof or a footprint or discarded Snickers wrapper or an [insert
favorite item of monumental importance here].

Actually, I¹d like to see a hammer that actually hit a hammer. I call dibs.

Cheers,
MDF
