Okay, here's a question for you all.
SETUP: One morning, you leave your house to find a slave trader from far away Stygia in your front yard. He has a gigantic black-haired Cimmerian slave named Conan for sale, and assures you that this slave was trained in the war-crafts of ancient Aquilonia.
Realizing you are looking at none other than Conan the Barbarian himself, you make an offer of $32.50 and a bus pass. To your surprise, the slaver agrees, but on the following condition: the barbarian is yours for only one day. At the end of that time he must be set free to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.
During that day, you can have Conan do anything. He is yours to command.
QUESTION: What do you instruct Conan to do?
"Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet." Robert E. Howard, The Phoenix on the Sword, 1932.
