In my world, there's an ancient ssstory called the Odyssey. At one point, the hero's ship sails by a place inhabited by creatures called ssssirens. The sirens possessed a golden shell that when blown into produces a ssssong! And any man who hears that song would be compelled to crash their ship into the nearby rocks!

I, like many people, assumed this to be complete fiction, and never bothered looking for such an item! But my right hand man, Destro, was able to talk me into searching the Adriatic Sea for relics, and managed to actually find the thing after wasting ridiculous amounts of money! Money that was definitely not worth sssspending on such a horrible item!
