True . . . although there was that time I caught a rerun of DS9 and didn't enjoy it at all.

Hey, I forget things all the time.
Granted, they're all things that are important to living MY life, I remember other people's stuff MUCH more reliably.[DOUBLEPOST=1493872865,1493872735][/DOUBLEPOST]
Or as the late Richard Jeni once put it, "Specify type of goat."

He goes by Willem, not William. And really, are you going to argue with him?
Nope. If he was Dafriend, maybe, but right now, nope.

For when telling someone to "suck a bag of dicks" just isn't classy enough.Send that special someone a bouquet.
There is a whole other level when you're willing to spend actual money on trolling somebody. I'm not sure that "classy" is the right word but I wouldn't say it's the wrong one either.
The word is "petty as fuck."

Bubble, this just shows the different ways media outlets report the same thing. One is reactionary and pushes a conspiratorial agenda while the other just posts a short and to the point factual blurb...that probably wouldn't convince you to click on the story.

Besides, they're fundamentally misunderstanding the premise. I'm pretty sure the blood was just used as a quenching medium, not the actual source of the iron.
Well upon more research it looks like most of the iron is still in the blood, so the sword would be lighter, closer to 2.5lb, but that's still enough for a lightweight sword.

For an arming sword (one handed sword), 2.5 lbs is a decent weight. https://www.reliks.com/functional-european-swords/maldon-viking-sword/ - this sword, for example, is 2 lbs 6oz, 2 oz lighter than 2.5 lbs. And that includes the wood and leather for the handle.
This sword is 3 lbs 4 oz https://www.reliks.com/functional-european-swords/sword-of-homildon-hill/ and it's a full longsword (sword used with one or two hands, but not a true two-handed sword).
https://www.reliks.com/functional-european-swords/german-bastard-sword/ - this is only 3 lbs 10 oz.
Swords weren't nearly as heavy as they're portrayed. They're in the same weight area as a baseball bat, and for the same reason.
Cast iron? I'd rather be 50 feet in front of the gun than holding it - less chance of fatal injury.
Also funny because cinco de mayo isn't Mexican independence day, either.
It's even funnier if we pretend Red Guy is French.
