I was trying to think of a group that murders languages worst than the Australians. Hell, they've almost killed English
Don't forget the Kiwis.

Says somebody from a nation which conducted systemic ethnic cleansing on the letter 'u' in words...
u's are highly overrated.
LOL
It's probably apocryphal. My wife was a medical photographer and her colleague had to attend ER where a med student had tried to replicate an 'accident' where casualty had been running naked on a landing, slipped and ended up with a crown topped bottle up his rectum.
Where do I start? It seemed like every night was an adventure in weirdness, and usually ended in sillies. The one that still makes me laugh, though, was a guy who used a brass curtain-ring as a cock-ring; ..... So I bashed it with a mallet, .....
Youse is overrated, too. But I digress.u's are highly overrated.
. Reading up on mongol composite bows.
Indeed. Snow on the desert isn't so rare, and the south coast from Malibu to San Diego sometimes freezes, too. Meanwhile, further north, a real gloryhole.Seems to be snowing everywhere. There is even snow in the high desert and in Las Vegas.
I take it you'll have seen this one, then:- http://www.coldsiberia.org/monbow.htm
An English war-bow could pull 200lb, as I've read.
Time for a coffee, I think. . . .

Most of the year, we could just throw nets from a porch to nab the suckers. Range, 2 yards maximum. Then we'd call my ex-celeb-chef son-in-law to cook up a storm. No, the other kind of storm.Interesting fact. The average range for deer killed in the US, is less than 20 yards.
EDIT: No, wait, don't do that! Not with zombie deer disease spreading wildly! My brain leaks enough already.
Where the English bow was a long bow, the Mongol bow was a full working re-curve type bow. Lighter pull but faster flight and higher impact. Back in the day, I hunted with a 55# full working re-curve bow. Ben Person as I remember. It would kill deer with ease out to 70-80 yards.

The Medieval English long bow for war could kill through chain mail at 300 yards and penetrate plate armour at 150 yards.
Try riding a stiff legged Mongol pony and shoot that long bow with any accuracy.
Afternoon coffee for the needy.

We're getting within sight of this thread needing yet another replacement at 5,000 posts. Keep up the good work, and the good coffee...
