* Perhaps Artifacts are actually [[GeniusTheTransgression Wonders]], and being bronzed prevents one's Wonders from becoming Orphans.
** To clarify, Wonders are tied to the [[MadScientist Genius]] that created them. And when a Genius dies any surviving Wonders of his become sentient, as well as developing terrifying new abilities.

* If there is some residual energy left in the bronzed statue and it is all directed at the brain, the brain could perhaps continue to function for a while, but not forever. It would explain why Artie doesn't care about the bronzed people being conscious, but would still allow someone who got bronzed (who have nothing else to do or occupy themselves with) to have a long time to think, as H.G. Wells revealed she had. It would certainly seem like a long time to them, but it is not an AndIMustScream situation.
* Well, yeah, you obviously can't stop age but keep brain activity. Its impossible, unless some brain-life support is in action. Not like anyone cares through...

[[WMG: H.G. Wells new invention ]]

to:

** Not really. Bronzed people aren't standing around watching the world go by. She said she could think, not that she could see. Even if she could, what's there to see? The inside of a box, being transported in a crate to the new Warehouse, minor changes in fashion? It's not a writing mistake of any kind.

Warehouse 2 fell when the Romans conquered Egypt. Warehouse 12 fell when the United States entered and helped win WWI, cementing themselves as the world's dominant superpower.

[[WMG: Artifacts were given their power by the Eureka Artifact.]]
* The crossover episodes mean that the Artifact from the early seasons of Eureka exists in the Warehouse 13 universe as well. On Eureka, it has being shown that the Artifact is capable of strong outbursts of energy, and those exposed to the energy of the Artifact can gain immense powers (the two people effected on the show were at close range, the first AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence, the second was said to be able to control the "Akashic field" and also exhibited powers like being able to heal others before being separated from the Artifact's energies by a teleporter). It has evidently being buried on Earth for at least millions of years, so if it periodically emitted energy pulses (dampened by rock and distance), it is possible that the people or objects that got hit could have being imbued with some extra sort of knowledge or power (though far less and more limited that the effects of the Artifact at close range). This would explain why most artifacts are connected with people of note (they used their power/knowledge or an affected artifact in their possession to gain fame/notoriety), and why there are so few people working at the Warehouse in modern times (even 40 years ago in "Where and When", you could see other possible collection teams in the background). Previously the Warehouse was a larger organization, but after the Artifact was discovered and contained at Eureka, it couldn't effect as many people, so most of the collection since then is to recover artifacts from before it was discovered, so fewer teams are needed today.

[[WMG: The artifact Hitler's Microphone is not an artifact.]]

* The finale is supposed to have that artifact as a focus point, but a neat, if maybe a bit common, twist would be that it actually has no artifact powers at all, but everyone assumes it does, and the ideas they have about what it could do make them too scared to test it, so it just sits there, a totally normal microphone.

* This could explain in-universe why there have yet to be artifacts of the possessions of living people. Artifacts that were actively used in their source time period would have been activated after the creator's death. DeadArtistsAreBetter, indeed.
** Gadgets would be similar yet separate from the more supernatural artifacts, allowing [[GadgeteerGenius tinkerers]] such as H.G. Wells, Philo Farnsworth, Hugo Miller, and Claudia Donovan to work their magic without being six feet under yet still warranting a spot in the warehouse.
** Therefore, if a person doesn't die they cannot craft an artifact. This troper would like to speculate that there are two kinds of Bronze Sector inmates: Preventatives and Offenders. A Preventative would be a person who would be at risk of crafting a potentially catastrophic artifact that could not be contained. An Offender would be a renegade individual who is in the loop about the Warehouses, such as MacPherson. Bronzing an Offender would indicate that the Regents are giving the subject a chance at parole, or simply because they cannot trust a single move the person could make using conventional prison methods. This troper isn't sure which category H.G. Wells should fall into as of Season 2's 9th episode, especially if she isn't telling the truth about her incarceration. We've yet to hear the Warehouse file version other than "[[PoorCommunicationKills she is a very bad person, much misfortune shall befall us.]]"
** This idea could be disproven by H.G. Wells whipping out a full-fledged artifact associated with herself, or if some random unremarkable person whom nobody has heard of having his own artifact.

[[WMG: A part of Freddie from {{iCarly}}'s camera, laptop or something on his tech cart is an [[{{Warehouse13}} Artifact]].]]
It's the reason why the webshow gets so so many viewers, and why people think it's so funny. It releases some kind of artifact pulse wave that generates 'happiness' and/or makes anything funny. It may be related to the artifact that caused so many people to die of asphyxiation from being unable to stop laughing. It was probably made by Alan Turing if it's inside or part of the laptop, or John Logie Baird if it's something to do with the camera.
