I assume ice picks and screwdrivers were banned years ago.

And they tested this how?

Nothing a quick swipe over a grinder or a couple strokes with a file wouldn't take care of. :roll:

My first thought was how are they going to recall all the existing knives, this has to happen before this "SAFETY KNIFE" becomes an (unmodified) viable option?

So instead of stabbings, they'll have slashings. (much more messy IMHO)

Huh?

I hope Joe Soucheray gets ahold of this one.

Wanna bet? Watch somebody who knows what they are doing with a knife. The tip is the least of your worries.

Personally, I prefer my knives as aggressive as possible. :mrgreen:

So, I should be worried if I have a conversation with my knife as I'm sharpening it? :shock:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

In all seriousness, I'm never without a blade. Not all of them are scary long things, but then again, not all of my guns are evil black things.

Ahhh Britain, when last I saw you, you had reached rock bottom. I see you've begun to dig.

Pretty soon they will have to adjust Brittania's head so it hangs in shame (after they take the points off her Trident, of course).

Quote:
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

At Runnymede, at Runnymede,
What say the reeds at Runnymede?
The lissom reeds that give and take,
That bend so far, but never break,
They keep the sleepy Thames awake
With tales of John at Runnymede.
At Runnymede, at Runnymede,
Oh, hear the reeds at Runnymede:
'You musn't sell, delay, deny,
A freeman's right or liberty.
It wakes the stubborn Englishry,
We saw 'em roused at Runnymede!

When through our ranks the Barons came,
With little thought of praise or blame,
But resolute to play the game,
They lumbered up to Runnymede;
And there they launched in solid line
The first attack on Right Divine,
The curt uncompromising "Sign!'
They settled John at Runnymede.

At Runnymede, at Runnymede,
Your rights were won at Runnymede!
No freeman shall be fined or bound,
Or dispossessed of freehold ground,
Except by lawful judgment found
And passed upon him by his peers.
Forget not, after all these years,
The Charter signed at Runnymede.'

And still when mob or Monarch lays
Too rude a hand on English ways,
The whisper wakes, the shudder plays,
Across the reeds at Runnymede.
And Thames, that knows the moods of kings,
And crowds and priests and suchlike things,
Rolls deep and dreadful as he brings
Their warning down from Runnymede!


Sorry Rudy, its a shame. The British Lion has been tamed and the Magna Carta is just a piece of paper now.
