That troll hammer...
I've seen a few comments recently on Buffy picking up Olaf's hammer - and how the fact that she could so easily when Spike couldn't lift it shows just how much stronger Buffy is than the average vampire.
Which I'm finding odd, because I always assumed it was because the hammer is a mystical item. So Buffy, as the Slayer, has special picking-up-hammer powers that are denied to Spike.
...am I completely alone in this assumption? Does everyone else in the whole world take it as Buffy being ridiculously strong compared to Spike?
(Yes, she's stronger than him. But not by that much...)

And I didn't mean to imply that's the only way to win--clearly it's not since Buffy won with the standard human strength of a 5'3" woman under a hundred pounds. Also, due to her size, proportionally, she'd have to be much stronger than Spike because she is so very, very tiny.
