Inspiring Picture

[werk]

I don't know if this'll link or how long it'll last, but this pic really tickled me.

It's from Reuters. "A Jarl Squad Viking is reflected in an axe before marching through Lerwick streets during the day procession of the Up Helly Aa festival in the Shetland Islands, northern Scotland January 30, 2007. The annual event ends at night with the burning of a viking longboat."

I never cared for intelligent weapons, myself.

 

[Abisashi]

How long did he spend shining that thing?

 

[Tewligan]

Judging from his pleased expression, he's shining his thing right now, IYKWIMAITYD.

 

[Mycanid]

Hmm ... hope there were not any monks visiting the Shetlands that day!

 

[Umbran]

That's.. a really polished axe.

 

[Goblyn]

I'm going to have to agree with Umbran.
