Interesting stuff. But also, golem? Serious business. The idea of it as a souvenir tschotke is a bit disconcerting.

But then I am of the school of "I don't care if we're all supposed to know it's not real, here's a list of stuff you don't mess around with."

I must admit to a sort of disturbed fascination with golems in general, and the Golem of Prague in particular.

And yeah, it's completely creepy that people are treating it trivially. Feels like poking at a primal force.
