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.

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

Quote: An ergonomic handle also reduces the aggressiveness of the product. Huh? I hope Joe Soucheray gets ahold of this one.

Quote: He says a knife can never be totally safe, but the idea is it can't inflict a fatal wound. Nobody could just "grab one out of the kitchen drawer and kill someone". Wanna bet? Watch somebody who knows what they are doing with a knife. The tip is the least of your worries. Quote: An ergonomic handle also reduces the aggressiveness of the product. Personally, I prefer my knives as aggressive as possible. But hey, that's just little old me. -Mark

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. -Mark

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.
