I think the phrase "takes things in a weird direction" is a pun since the original Sword in the Stone had the blade buried in the stone, and in this case, the handle is buried (also, in the Sword in the Stone, the blade traditionally points toward the ground, but in this case, it is parallel to the ground) [[Special:Contributions/162.158.126.46|162.158.126.46]] 22:48, 17 June 2019 (UTC) | I think the phrase "takes things in a weird direction" is a pun since the original Sword in the Stone had the blade buried in the stone, and in this case, the handle is buried (also, in the Sword in the Stone, the blade traditionally points toward the ground, but in this case, it is parallel to the ground) [[Special:Contributions/162.158.126.46|162.158.126.46]] 22:48, 17 June 2019 (UTC) | ||
