Funny effer.

OMG I totally had that book. It sounded familiar and I looked at it on Amazon and YEP...same book.

Me too. I loved it and wanted to get it for my son but couldn't remember the name. Thanks Wikipedia!

I'm sure I still have it somewhere. Now I'm trying to remember the name of some kind of brain booster or brain teaser book I had (and still have...somewhere.) GAWD I loved me some Scholastic Book Club. Mom always had to make me scale back a few books, every order.

It happens more often than you think. The liberal media never reports it because most swords are foreign made. They don't want to upset the global economy

I thought this was going to be the penis size thread.

I have used all three fencing weapons and it would be bloody hard to kill someone with one. The debate comes up occasionally in fencing clubs, the conclusion is usually that you'd do better to take of your mask and beat them with that.

This man stabbed a total of 26 people. 23 were elementary school kids. We have to do something about these horrible assault knives!! Do you think there is anyway they could make a knife that couldn't stab more than 10 times??

But your thread title was correct, though. Swords/knives don't kill people. Well, not very effectively. All 26 lived.

Guy needs to work on his action.

Brooms, people, ASSAULT BROOMS! They are bristling with danger. They NEVER need reloading.

Pro-tip: Don't bring a knife to a broom fight.

I think I counted 24 or 25... and a bouquet of flowers....

With a light blade I can easily kill 20 ish people , and children would not be physical hard. The same is true for gas or cars or bleach, ect.
It is not ability that stops but the fact that
IT IS FUCKING SUPREME EVIL
UNFORGIVABLE FUCKING EVIL

Huffington Post is liberal news media, so you're wrong.

As Dr. Zen said, no one was killed.

If you use children as weapons you can increase your odds of survival

32 five year olds. Not bad for an old guy (thanks for the tip).

Sadly, I die on the moon; 0% chance of survival when marooned 200 miles from base.

I expected better since I'm 86% Geek.

Tor is correct. Take guns away, a bad guy will use a bomb. Or an airplane.

O. M. G. !

I hadn't even thought of the cars...How many young lives have been snuffed out...by cars.

We simply must have armed guards in every car.

We simply must have car-proof guards on the roofs of all skyscrapers.

Cars that can go for hundreds of miles on just one high-capacity tank of fuel?

I propose strict fuel tank limits.

We need to outlaw high-capacity fuel tanks. NOW!

Why would anyone need to go more than ten miles?

Only to kill someone. Only to kill someone.
