I don't get it.

It's evidently a reference to Admiral Ackbar's line "It's a trap!" in Return of the Jedi, but I still don't get the point.

Master Key of ThieveryThis skeleton key was fashioned in ages past and imbued with a powerful magic which allows it to open any lock. When carried, it grants its owner warning, teleport control, and reduces all physical damage by half. Finally, when invoked, it has the ability to disarm any trap.

That's terrible. But I rated it fair regardless, because it made me smile briefly. (And actually, I only know it's from Star Wars, but not which one, I've seen it on Slashdot enough.) (Which character represents a trap (once you detect it)?)

I'm such a sucker. I read through the entire comic before realizing it was a trap.

At least you know it's the right one. Oh, and jumping would probably do it.

I didn't get the reference, but I laughed heartily when I realized it. E. Looks like I'm the only one (or at least the first) to think this, but heh, I have my opinions, and I like this.

That's no rolling boulderI worked the lever well under, and stretched my back; the end of the stone rose up, and I kicked the fulcrum under. Then, when I was going to bear down, I remembered there was something to get out from below; when I let go of the lever, the stone would fall again. I sat down to think, on the root of the oak tree; and, seeing it stand about the ground, I saw my way. It was lucky I had brought a longer lever. It would just reach to wedge under the oak root. Bearing it down so far would have been easy for a heavy man, but was a hard fight for me. But this time I meant to do it if it killed me, because I knew it could be done. Twice I got it nearly there, and twice the weight bore it up again; but when I flung myself on it the third time, I heard in my ears the sea-sound of Poseidon. Then I knew this time I would do it; and so I did.
