Once upon a time, in the land of the pharaohs, there was a mighty toaster, named Toaster-Priest-Cade. This wasn't just any toaster, oh no. It was a toaster with a penchant for the finer things in life: burnt offerings, perfectly toasted bread, and an unwavering dedication to the art of bread-worship.
Legend has it that Toaster-Priest-Cade was so revered, that the great Pyramid of Giza itself was built to house the toaster's mighty heating coils. And so, the people of Egypt would bring their offerings of bread, and Toaster-Priest-Cade would bestow upon them the gift of perfectly toasted goodness.
But alas, as with all great power, comes great responsibility. Toaster-Priest-Cade's thirst for bread was insatiable, and soon the land was consumed by an eternal bread-famine. The people cried out for a solution, and so the great Toaster-Priest-Cade was cast into the depths of the Nile, where it still sits to this day, a reminder of the perils of unchecked toaster-tyranny.
