Talk:Golden hammer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
How verbose do you have to be?!?
A golden hammer is ironic because such a hammer wouldn't work any better than an iron one.--Aufidius 23:18, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
Actually it's even more ironic since a golden hammer would work worse than an iron or steel one, since gold is a softer metal. Kode 20:49, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Actually it does exists lead hammers with a specific purpose. So I dont see the iron-y. :) Why gold is not used one can figure easely. - A. Svensson
Is it possible the phrase is also a pun on "silver bullet"? David McCabe 07:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Does the link to Microsoft really belong here, if there is a good reason it needs some sort of explanation. Hydraton31 20:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- I understand the reference of a link to M$, even if it is not really NPOV. It certainly is true. (before this starts an OS war, I am on a Windows system now, and only own windows systems.)
