True enough Frenchie, It's a good thing they don't make them that strong or we would have kids cutting each others heads off. I think the manufacture would be in for a law suit or two in that case, LOL...

Suze, although not normally used to decapitate someone, it was used to great effect on splitting the skull. Mind you I don't think a plastic tomahawk would do any damage.

Todays letter is U.

Uzi, a family of Israeli open bolt blowback operated sub machine gun, first introduced to the IDF in 1954. From the 1960s through the 1980s, more Uzi submachine guns were sold to more military, law enforcement and security markets than any other submachine gun ever made.

If we ignored each other then how would we be able to have intelligent conversations on this site. OK some of you have intelligent conversations I just babble...

Todays letter is T.

Tomahawk, traditional native American general purpose tool used in hand to hand combat or as a throwing weapon. English adaption of the Powhatan word. Tomahawks were originally designed with rounded stone or deer antler blades.

Yes it was it was also used as a terror weapon in the tokyo subway system. Knwoldge is a wounderful thing, or not in some cases. I use to be a chemical warfare Defense instructor in the military, and this stuff still scares me...

Quarterstaff. European in origin, Used in England during the early modern period. Roughly 6-9 feet in length, it was called Quarterstaff after the way it was made. A tree was cut down split in quarters and shaped.

OK. KNM stands for Nautical Mile, I know there is no K in it. But sailing terminology shortens Nautical into Knots.

Poor Frechie, hope you feel better soon. I find an alternate of hot lemon and hot mint tea works real well. Take two to three table spoons of lemon juice two teaspoons of sugar and hot water. This will give you the citric acid you need, and helps clear the head. Mint tea is good for sore throats. It seems to work for me anyway.

todays letter L.

The P-38 lighting is a twin engine high altitude interceptor. In 1937 The US army requested an interceptor with long range high altitude capabilities. It original design limited it turning rate and it armament was limited. It was a twin boom with a central nacelle for the pilot and weapons.
