Christmas Stocking

I have nearly finished wrapping up all our Christmas presents (yay me!!) and I got to thinking - what would be awesome to find in my Christmas stocking, what would I like to receive if reality was no obstacle?

First, given my misbehaving body - a Medical Tricorder and Hypospray from Star Trek would be useful.
For those of you whose taste is not as impeccable as mine, a tricorder is a CAT scan, MRI scan, heart monitor, DNA sequencer, blood pressure monitor, X-ray machine, toxicologist, mass spectrometer, and more, all rolled into one hand-held device. Hyposprays replace horrible hypodermic needles in the delivery of medication and vaccines, etc. A very fine mist of the substance to be delivered is fired through the skin at high speed into the blood stream. Mo mess, no fuss. A great boon for those of us that have to lie down even for the flu jab, least we collapse in a heap.

This isn't a thing as such, more a place ... or perhaps not a place, to be more precise, um.
L-space. A concept described by Terry Pratchett in some of his Discworld books. I shall endeavour to explain. Words are powerful things therefore it stands to reason that books are powerful. A place where many books are stored is bursting with power, so much so that it warps space and time creating L-Space. All significant collections of books do this therefore libraries the world over are linked through L-Space. Those initiated (librarians and book-sellers) can travel in L-Space to access books in other places. Furthermore, it is "believed", every book that was ever written, that will ever be written, or even ever potentially written is accessible through L-Space.
Now THAT's a lot of books. :o)

I'm afraid I shall have to go back to Star Trek once more - a replicator would be very cool. To be able to eat whatever you wanted - pizza every meal or ice-cream for breakfast - which tastes perfect every time but is also perfectly nutritionally balanced.

Harry Potter's invisibility cloak would be quite fun and very useful at times, in a sneaky sort of way. :o)

Another thing that has always fascinated me, but I've no idea why, is Frodo's sword - Sting. Although this is one fantasy item it is possible to obtain, with a company licensed to make authentic replicas of the weapons from the Lord of the Rings movies (donations to Rhea's "buy the sword" fund gratefully received, hehe). Speaking of which, I wore a replica piece of jewllery at our wedding - the jewel that Arwen gave to Aragorn as a token of her love. It is a beautiful necklace and suited my dress perfectly.

What would you have in your dream stocking?

Happy Journeys.
