Then why does it explode everytime it hits that blob thing? I know that hammers do this. I've even seen it happen a couple of times. A gavel -on the other hand- is gently tapped to make a polite and courteous interuption or statement, that hammer is smashing the crap out of a poor defenseless blob.
And it explodes. Gavels are NOT supposed to do that. Unless of course you got it from the IRA.
Im' sure its a mouse thumping hammer.
