    this really was quite difficult to break
    5 Stars
    this really was quite difficult to break
    Let's be clear: the plastic of which this thing is made resists damage very obstinately. It took a long time (fully two minutes? I was going cautiously) for me and my claw hammer to even breach the outer shell of this juggernaut, and even then it ended up taking twenty minutes more to actually get inside it, look the contents over, and figure out how to get the little plastic icosahedron (20-sided die, basically), the little treasure with all the fortunes on it, out of the separate container of blue fluid.Needless to say, everyone in the dorm who witnessed my steady progress was impressed beyond measure. In any case I am now the controller of my own fortune, if not also the entirety space-time itself (who's to say?). One warning, however: the blue fluid inside the inner sanctum does not seem to stain bathtubs or sinks or any kind of porcelain, but it will absolutely stain skin. Not for long, but it doesn't all scrub off.Long story short, if you're worried about casual drops, don't be. This thing will get scuffed as hell, but it will protect its precious cargo. And don't worry about karmic backlash, either--my particular 8 Ball, at least, which was purchased for this purpose, actively encouraged and guided me ("Should I hit it right on the 8 here?" - "YES, DEFINITELY") as I violently forced open a passage to the destiny-nugget at its core.
