Yea, definitely not designed for actual use. Probably just want to hang it on your wall or something.

Whoa whoa whoa... is that a fingerprint in blood? I bet it is, isn't it...? Knowing these guys it's gotta be.

Even when I see Elrond in LotR, that's actually just Agent Smith in a funny costume.

It could even be a far right racist propaganda bot.

I'm just trying to imagine having to bend that thing all the way back around to string it, and I'm already feeling the frustration.

I know there's probably a technique for it, using your legs to trap it or something, but that's still gotta be a wrestling match.

edit: This was bugging me enough that I had to google it:

Stringing starts around halfway through the vid. Two legs and what looks like arm strength is the key, where a longbow uses one leg and more of your torso.

Alternate challenge: Find a line of more than just a few words from Holy Grail that won't be recognized.

...wat?

That's gotta be an internal decapitation, right? I cannot fathom how a full decapitation happens during delivery, unless someone was using a straight up lightsaber to cut the umbilical cord or something.

I would check myself, but I just don't want to for some reason.

Peak flexibility and comfort for plate armor, with full marks for style. 10/10, would wear to ceremonial duties or riot suppression. Would probably go without for large-scale battle, though, not stopping a projectile of the period.

Wouldn't we also be under enough pressure to begin fusing some of that hydrogen into helium at that point?

I was just gonna say, a squash that I cut in half, hollow out and dry is pretty low-tech stuff. Could probably use a coconut if you were in a pinch... Lot of options.

The purpose of a legal system is to provide stability to a society, so that a person can safely pursue long term goals over their lifetime in a predictable environment.

The most effective way to accomplish this is to make a system where laws originate from a process where people are allowed to have some say in the creation of the laws that will apply to them, and the laws are then applied uniformly, consistently and fairly to all people regardless of background.

Our system partially fulfils this.
