I recall once seeing "An evil-looking metal talon" lying around on a MUD
after defeating some monster or other. So I tried "get evil". Nope... "get
metal". Nope... "get talon". Nope... ahh, screw it. "get all": "You pick up
the demon claw". Sure enough, "drop demon" dropped it; "get claw" picked it
up.
And you thought "find the verb" was bad? Try "find the noun" sometime. ;)
