  • The Dagda's club

    Tonight I was dipping into a large bag of Hawkin’s Cheezies
    and I found one shaped like an at-sign (@) and one shaped
    like a tapered club.

    I know the Dagda is said to have either a staff or club, which
    deals death from one end and healing from the other.
    If it is a tapered club, which end deals healing? I think
    it is the pointy end but I am not sure.

    Anyway, I didn’t save them, but ate them. :-)

    According to Wikipedia, the handle restores life.
