This saturday I'm working a single 16 hour shift.

Theoretically, I may try to go to the Renaissance Festival with Lemmy and maybe buy a spear or a club or something to hit people with.

Realistically, I'll get drunk a few times, get angry a few times and destroy something.

Now that sounds like something I'd like to do vicariously! Are you still drinking wine like a Frenchman?

ACES! Another post by Karnaj:

Did you know France was named after an axe? That's pretty cool.

I drink wine like a Roman.

Mr. Parcelan still thinks SARS jokes are topical, as evidenced by:

Then you'd be drinking it straight out of a wooden cask (glass was hideously expensive back then, so bottled wine would be reserved for the nobility). Sorry, Frenchie.

Better that than a clay pot stoppered with lead!

Mmmmm....maddening.

That's 2-3 passes of 15 minutes, 90 minutes apart, twice a day. Sweet. Likely (unless the Russians screw it up) centered around 10am and 10pm.

Probably drinking in between to try to cope with the realization that I have no life.

My spring break doesn't start till the 26th, though; finals week starts Tuesday.

Karnaj had this to say about John Romero:

Who said I wasn't?

And who said I wasn't out burning down cities and sowing the earth with salt?

You? DID YOU SAY IT?

One of these was the Hunnic composite bow, it shot faster and farther and stronger than a longbow and could be launched from horseback. Using this, Attila was able to rout the Romans time and again.

Similarly devastating was the Parthian heavy cavaly, the cataphract. Horse and rider were covered head to toe in armor, and this super heavy shock cavalry was devastating to enemy formations in its highly-disciplined, knee-to-knee charges. Compounding this was the fact that most cataphracts were in themselves mounted archers; they could fire their bows, impervious to ranged counter attack, then charge whomever survived the volley.

At Carrhae, against 40,000 Romans and some assorted Gallic cavalry, 9,000 horse archers and 1,000 cataphracts waited. The horse archers fired a neverending volley of arrows, while the cataphracts routed what cavalry the Romans had. Then, they turned to the Roman infantry, slaughtering them in great numbers.

Interestingly enough, the Roman prisoners they took were shipped off to the other side of the Empire, in modern day India. As slaves, they were probably the first Europeans to ever come in contact with the Chinese.
