    Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. Of the three, I would use the Gold and buy a dictionary to figure out what the other two are.

        Why spend the gold on encyclopedias when you can google frankinscence and myrrh for free?

        Can’t jump-start civilization using the internet during the zombie apocalypse. Need books for that.

        Have this idea for a VR Zombie game where reading and findings books levels you up to repair, fight, cook, etc. 🕹🔥

        It's okay, Dr., not to know everything. Only Isaac Asimov knew everything. (Frankincense is a resin, Myrrh is a bitter herb.)

        I've found that "Myrrh" makes for a good word choice when playing hangman.
