Clips to the lids wouldn't be fun but it'd be worth the effort either way. And the stories you could tell..... but probably shouldn't.. ;)

This is the version of the Turtle story I know. I think it's funnier:

Nay to golems! Yay to automata!

I see what you are saying, but the Golem story explicitly includes spiritual mysticism, specifically Jewish Kabbalah. Clarke's law is written from the point of view of relative primitives encountering technology far above their comprehension. The story of the Golem includes a rabbi who knows exactly what he is doing

Well, duh. Everyone knows that!

SPOILERS FOR BOTH SEASONS:

That ending was ballsy! I've never seen a show attempt something like that. To literally leave every character on the floor bleeding out was amazing.

The show and the book share exactly two things: a dome and the names of certain characters. That's it.

You see I'm going through the forest on a horse with no name
