Both of the above 2 posts look like the same sword kinda

[QUOTE=gman003-main;50570616]In the 1800s, some duelists fought duels nude or semi-nude, to prevent dirty cloth from being forced into the wound, making it much less likely to be infected. I'm not sure if that advice is accurate, and it never seemed to be particularly common, but perhaps it was followed anyways, and earlier than the 1800s. Plus what G-Strogg and Zillamaster said.[/QUOTE] There are for sure accounts of this, and I also read about a pistol duel done nude for that very same reason.

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;50570243]They ain't always, just some renaissance masters was really about anatomy and mathematics, and then to put this into a science they just make fencers nude so you can say for sure what things should be like.[/QUOTE] Their faces though. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/siDDupl.jpg[/IMG] Looks like the guys were having a great time rolling around.

[QUOTE=Sitkero;50572571][img]http://puu.sh/pCJDi/5cd6f4c820.jpg[/img] Would this count? :v:[/QUOTE] I've wondered is there some benefit to making a sword non-pointy?

Weren't swords like that for executions? If that was the case, they were mostly for show and didn't need to be pointy.

[QUOTE=pentium;50572583]Someone say Brutalist?[/QUOTE] No, you dreamt that

I don't know a lot about sword-fighting, but this thread taught me that you're doing something wrong if you're holding the sword by it's handle.

[QUOTE=Talishmar;50573528]I've wondered is there some benefit to making a sword non-pointy?[/QUOTE] At that point you might as well just make it a bat

[QUOTE=Talishmar;50573528]I've wondered is there some benefit to making a sword non-pointy?[/QUOTE] Wouldn't that be for training?

[QUOTE=Binladen34;50567075]Why pour slag? Why not form it into bricks for low cost 3rd world building material or something?[/QUOTE] It's too brittle, it's not really a hard rock. EDIT: god damn it, this is what happens when you look at the previous page without realising it

[QUOTE=Talishmar;50573528]I've wondered is there some benefit to making a sword non-pointy?[/QUOTE] It has more mass in the blade, so it's a lot easier to behead someone.

If that was the case, they were mostly for show and didn't need to be pointy.[/QUOTE] That one's an executioner's sword, yeah. It's mostly for lopping off heads and far as I know the extra weight from the wide blade helps with that

[QUOTE=Sitkero;50574933]That one's an executioner's sword, yeah. It's mostly for lopping off heads and far as I know the extra weight from the wide blade helps with that[/QUOTE] May as well use an axe, then

[QUOTE=Binladen34;50567075]Why pour slag? Why not form it into bricks for low cost 3rd world building material or something?[/QUOTE] Why not turn it into -swords-.

Brutalist slag swords, coming soon

[QUOTE=EcksDee;50572880]Both of the above 2 posts look like the same sword kinda[/QUOTE] It's the Slav Version of Excalibur.

In case anyone was wondering, that's the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Lajas_Sanctuary]Las Lajas Sanctuary[/url], in Colombia. Built from 1916-1949 in the Gothic Revival style. Looking at the wiki, I really like the ceiling. [t]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3c/Santuario_de_Las_Lajas%2C_Ipiales%2C_Colombia%2C_2015-07-21%2C_DD_16-18_HDR.JPG[/t]

[QUOTE=Zillamatic;50585340] 1916-1949[/QUOTE] That's a little disappointing

You'll hate the cathedral that's [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_Fam%C3%ADlia"]been under construction for 134 years then[/URL] [t]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Sagrada_Familia_01.jpg[/t] Gaudi was one crazy sumbitch.

[T]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/Rock_Island_Railroad_Rock_Island_Jet_Rocket.JPG/1280px-Rock_Island_Railroad_Rock_Island_Jet_Rocket.JPG[/T] The Rock Island [I]Jet Rocket[/I], one of the two [I]Aerotrain[/I] demonstrator sets constructed by General Motors in the mid 1950s which saw service with both the ATSF(Santa Fe), New York Central, Pennsylvania Railroad, and Union Pacific, logging over 600,000 miles. However the Aerotrains suffered by numerous issues including mechanical problems with the experimental EMD LWT12 locomotives and the suspension system used in the passenger cars which were modified 40-seat highway bus bodies which were installed on them with the intention that it would make them ride smoother, but instead did the opposite. The Aerotrains were also introduced at a time when passenger trains were struggling to make profits as airlines and private automobile travel became more popular in the United States. Both sets were retired in 1966 after a decade of use and both now rest on static display at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis and the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
