The Brass Buddha

According to Jan Łukasiewicz the introduction of variables was one of Aristotle's greatest inventions (he used variable letters to represent valid inferences in Prior Analytics). According to Sister Veracitude the weather and the Scottish Independence Debate are variables (by which she means that they will affect her pension and her insurance premiums). According to Prigentia, Doctor Bakewell's attitude and ethics are variables, in that he changes his mind when he realises that the young Kimrock really does wish to purchase a present for his grandmother. The music box is out of his range, but he does see a beautiful brass smiling Buddha. Sadly he is unaware that Smiling Buddha was the codename of India's first nuclear weapon explosion in 1974.
