Clairvoyant Goblins Saw forbidden

A peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Goblin Studies (impact factor: 0.2, but what isn't) has finally shed light on forbidden.

A goblin once tried to steal forbidden. No one knows how the attempt went, because forbidden was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding forbidden in a sock drawer ever since. Others say forbidden escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

The Goblin Verdict on forbidden

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record forbidden as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
