....Or the fact that The Zulu nation gave Victoria's best a good run for their money in South Africa...I met King Goodwill Zulu in high school when he visited the states...never met a met who killed a lion until then...

Shaka Zulu...from a quick observation, Wallace would probably come out on top one on one, But Shaka's tactics en masse would probably give Wallace's army a very bad time...too many factors are against a decisive win for Shaka: Strictly footsoldiers against archers, lancers and horsemen...both use that 'berzerker' style of overrunning and overwhelming their enemies, but while Wallace had the better technology, Zulu had more cunning tactics... --- On Mon, 6/8/09, Martin Baxter wrote: From: Martin Baxter Subject: Re: [RE][scifinoir2] "The Deadliest Warrior" Marathon on SpikeTV To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com Date: Monday, June 8, 2009, 1:50 PM I know, Keith, but, everytime I hear them say that, I think, "They really haven't had much real-world experience in violence-related issues" because I've seen things that'll make your hair UNcurl. The frying-pan/chairs incident was back in my early days here in Atlanta, when I was out with some friends at a bar in Buckhead. A fight broke out between one of my friends and some guy, because of disparaging remarks directed at a young lady. I got hit because I was trying to get that young lady out of harm's way. I've also seen a man take two shots from a .38 in the chest, almost point-blank, and still keep going, requiring four cops to subdue and arrest him. And he lived, still lives. (Don't know what the circumstances of that were -- I was only nine years old, and happened across the end of it when I s! tepped off the schoolbus.) And those memoirs are all sitting in my head, waiting for the time to be written down. ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [RE][scifinoir2] "The Deadliest Warrior" Marathon on SpikeTV Date : Sun, 7 Jun 2009 22:36:29 +0000 (UTC) >From : Keith Johnson To : scifino...@yahoogro ups.com yeah, I'm aware of that. But during the testing, they made a big deal out of how both of those devices could crush a person's skull. The doctor is always saying "That's a killing blow. You'll be dead before you hit the ground". I get glancing blows not bringing the full force, of course, but in both cases these were pretty much full on. Given what happened to the practice dummy, one expects to see blood, brains, and bone fragments flying. Either way, do tell more about your younger days. Sounds quite interesting! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Baxter" To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com Sent: Sunday, June 7, 2009 7:52:48 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [RE][scifinoir2] "The Deadliest Warrior" Marathon on SpikeTV Keith, I don't know if you've ever been in or seen any serious fights or not, but I've danced in a couple back in my Salad Daze, and I can say this into your thoughts. In one fight, I was hit directly in the forehead with a frying pan *and* took two chairs upside the head, and kept going. Sometimes, in the heat of the battle, adrenaline will allow you to take what might normally be a killing blow and shrug it off. Though you *do* notice it later. *Boy*, do you... ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [RE][scifinoir2] "The Deadliest Warrior" Marathon on SpikeTV Date : Sun, 7 Jun 2009 02:45:05 +0000 (UTC) >From : Keith Johnson To : scifino...@yahoogro ups.com Still trying to figure out how the pirate survived a headblow by the morningstar. But then, I can't see how the Apache survived at least two direct blows to the face by the gladiator's spiked fist in their contest. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Baxter" To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com Sent: Saturday, June 6, 2009 6:26:23 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [RE][scifinoir2] "The Deadliest Warrior" Marathon on SpikeTV Thank you, Keith!

They just finished Apache vs. Gladiator (winner: Apache). Now it's Samurai vs. Viking warrior. What was interesting about the matchups is the first several weren't so much major differences in time periods (such as bronze vs. steel) as they were differences in warrior size and method. It was small, fast, and efficient versus large, powerful and overpowering. Usually, the smaller, faster warriors would win the day. http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=JQdwk8Yntds http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=JQdwk8Yntds http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=JQdwk8Yntds http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=JQdwk8Yntds __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
