I am pretty sure that Jesus mentioned a certain toy that was thrown just after that, but if fell more like a snowflake and not like lightning therefore Luke did not bother mentioning it.
But somehow, like Jumanji or the One Ring, it has found its way to my home. Unearthed in Vietnam it was then packaged and sent to America where it was found by my mother, bought for my son, and now serves to torment me day and night. Look at the picture below, if you dare, and feast your eyes on such an unspeakable evil.
It may look innocent enough but all you have to do is look at the front wheels (ok, maybe touch them) and the terror is set loose upon your ears. Unless you enjoy the sound of a diesel truck starting followed by two very long car honks (in which case you may need psychological help) it is an awful terrible toy.
The only hope i have is to take it back to the grandparents house and trick my son to throw it into the pool thereby destroying the circuitry which cause such awful sounds. The journey is long and arduous. I will be forming a fellowship to undertake such a dangerous task. If you would like to volunteer please leave a comment.

Sadly I am unable to assist you in your quest. But I would like to point out that you have the soft eardrums of a suburban-dwelling weakling. After a week with me in the city, you may find the sounds comforting...nay, melodious.
(p.s. if you bring that thing with you, I'm writing Xavi out of my will for eternity)
funny how it's always other people that give your kids noisy toys! Other people who don't have to live with the deafening noise that they have 'gifted' to your child. I say - tell the lovely grandparents to keep it at their house & send Xavi round to demonstrate how it works - frequently!! They'll never buy a noisy toy again!!
(or just take the batteries out!!)
I will quote a famous russian brasilian who likes to inquire "what is your point of reference?"...compared to a screaming newborn at 2am, such sounds from a small toy might be a welcome jingle.
good luck in your quest.
I had absolutely no idea that you had a blog! How did I not know this?!
This is great!
Wow! amazing. =)
Crash it right in front of Xavi and let him/her know that it is really an enemy of the family. Xavi will certainly cry but don't care...just enjoy tearing apart. Or,torment the terrible toy by removing the two front wheels and let it scream day and night. Never ever do this alone, it's funny! All the best!
