1. Is Jethro's Hoe a normal handheld one or the horse drawn kind?

2. I was the one who wite Orson Welles' Microphone thinking it could either induce mass hysteria, make one's words very believable, or something along those lines, only to recently find out that the whole War of the Worlds panic was, apparently, false. According to Wikipedia, listeners who frequently changed channels or completely missed the introduction of the show were confused when listening, also in part thanks to the news bulletin style of the show. This confusion was later reported as panic, and fact, and later spread across world, even being mentioned by Hitler the next month.

Which begs the question, do we keep the microphone and treat the incident as fact, concoct some scheme to make it work both for us and real history, or delete the artifact/make it do something else? Although, then again, the Lumier Cinematograph was born from the urban legend that the audience panicked at the film of an oncoming train, so we could really do anything we wanted and would still stay within the canon style.
