I don't read the bible constantly or anything (I was raised religious but have since changed my beliefs.) But the internet is a wonderful place where there are search engines where you can type in things like "hammer" and it will show you all the bible verses with the word hammer in it. This was just a faint idea at the beginning of this strip and fortunately I found a passage that works.
I love obscure bible quotes, because not many people have read the entire bible or know a lot about it, so it is always fun to brign up things that even devout Christians would have to look up =]

Or maybe you just really like ducks. =]
Either way the window is intended to show that Buddha still had the hammer and he threw it (I thought some people might have forgotten.)
Come to think of it, maybe having eh Aflac duck run in and throw the hammer would have been funnier =]

So what's Jeremiah 23:29 or is the verse even that relevant?

"Is not my word like fire," declares the Lord, "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?"
So the point here is that the hammer metaphorically represents the word of god.
Don't worry, I am by far not a bible freak. That took a bit of online researching before I found a passage that worked.
