According to The New York Post, citing a report by The Telegraph, n sword that is regarded as France’s “Excalibur” has vanished from its stone. Per the publication, locals in the French town of Rocamadour believed the sword, Durandal, had been lodged in rock for around 1,300 years. A main attraction for the town, the sword could be found stuck in a sheer rock wall about 100 feet off the ground

Authorities in France are working to determine how the sword was taken from the 100 foot sheer rock face.

    Okay let’s start with a sword stuck into the stone. Did that ability spontaneously disappear 500 years ago?

      No, it disappeared with the rise of technology. We could still stick swords into stone as late as 1850. But after that the mass production systems meant wizards just weren’t in demand anymore and the portals to their plane were closed.

      These days it’s all “Glock in a rock”

      The march of technology is really bringing down the level of charm, if you ask me.

      Also, that’s my next public art exhibition, so nobody steal that idea while I work on becoming a famous avant-garde artist.
