| Appearantly you bored the dickens out of this thread.
So I'm a-bumping it, because it does not deserve to lie forgotten at the bottom of the page.

| Mythbusters is doing an episode on Ninjas.
It should be interesting, given that they contacted one of the last traditionally taught "ninja's" around.
However, I still haven't forgiven them for what they did to that '67 Fury.

| They ruined it!
They tested the myth that if your riveshaft drops, it can catapult your car.
They obtained a pristine 1967 Plymouth Fury, and tested the myth.
Then, to really finish it off, I've heard they crashed it into a wall at 65mph to see if small loose objects are dangerous in a collision at those speeds. 
Makes me very angry. They should have found a car that people wouldn't miss.

What happened to the '67 Fury? | Just catch some clips of it on youtube. There aren't complete episodes, but you can see parts. | |

| Unless you know where to look...
Anyway, amybe we could get them to look at the myth all the epeeists and sabreurs seem to hold to about their weapon being better than foil.

| How is epee better? Foil is my favorite, im sorry, but it is just the best! Now I understand that there are the occasional few, self deluded fencers who prefer the epee or sabre and I respect their choice, but fencing isnt a democracy, not every one gets equal rights in this sport, you either have to be the best or be the worst there are no exceptions. Fellow foilists, let us rise above these petty fools, and prove, once and for all, the greatness of the foil. . | |

| Actually, I believe the asylum is that "epeeist only" thread. At least, that's where I see all the loonies are hanging out.

Like, when the people upstairs are making too much noise, it's great for slamming it up into the ceiling.
