You however William, should make sure you've loaded your black powder
weapons, sharpened your edged weapons and made sure you both refletched your
arrows and keep your bow strings dry, you never know when you'll need them.

I wouldn't want to be an alien beating on your door.

If, God forbid, I went bonkers I wouldn't be a threat to the local
police, never mind a tentacle waving horror from another world.

And I gave up serious archery half a decade ago.

I'm far too old to risk my back doing that these days.

"Any number under six"

The answer given by Englishman Richard Peeke when asked by the Duke of
Medina Sidonia how many Spanish sword and buckler men he could beat
single handed with a quarterstaff.

Never done the Indian staff fighting thing, although I've watched teh
Bombay Police at lathi drill a couple of times.

Lethal looking stuff.

I have acouple of rapiers about the place, but they're not what you'd
call a realistic weapon against anyone with any firearm made after about
1800...

A trailer for the new "Battleship" movie is now up at:

http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/batt...ml?showVideo=1

Typical Hollywood CRAP targetted at a wide audience. A nice looking
blond (for the guys). A good looking, agressive, know-it-all guy (for
the gals), some romance (for the gals; no sex please, this is
America!), and some alien spaceship which has to be destroyed by the
'superior' U.S. Navy (for the guys). Haah!

I agree with what William says. Real aliens would kill us off before we
even had a clue what was going on. Why don't they just show the truth
like in 'Battlefield Earth 3000' (a grossly underrated picture IMHO),
we don't stand a chance against spacefairing aliens.
