It occurred to me… is it possible for an inanimate object to have mojo? A car, sword…starship? ---

What about Bruce Lee vs. Muhammed Ali, mojo wise? ---

There is no doubt that some inanimate objects can have mojo. The _Enterprise_ surely leads the pack in this. That’s starting with NCC-1701, however. NX-01, being a prequel, apparently also predates the mojo. ---

My grandmother has more mojo in her little finger than the whole of the NX-01. The NCC-1701-E, on the other hand, has more mojo in one plasma transfer conduit than every other fictional creation COMBINED. Now, put Batman on the 1701-E, and you have yourself an unstoppable mojo force. ---

For a defination go to the source - any of the blues masters. Muddy Waters - mojo hand, willied dixon - got my mojo workin, etc. Mojo came out of the black slave culture. IIRC it’s a mix of African and voodoo. Any of the seminole blues books will have a section on mojo. Also, you missed Jojo _ **Mojo** _ from the Power Puff Girls 🆒 ---

First, it’s Mojo Jojo. Second, if mojo were gasoline, that amateurish monkey of a villain wouldn’t have enough to drive a motorcycle around the outside of a penny. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mojo/243661.md?page=1)
