Bookworm:
Unless you think about what a McGuffin is:
McGuffin (aka: MacGuffin or maguffin) is a term for a Plot Enabling
Device, i.e. a device or plot element in a movie that is
deliberately placed to catch the viewer's attention and/or drive the
logic of the plot, but which actually serves no further purpose - it
won't pop up again later, it won't explain the ending, it won't
actually do anything except possibly distract you while you try to
figure out its significance.
Sound familiar? <g>
