I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think a hand blender might work if you could stay close to the plug.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I would think that it would also take more energy to continue fighting with a hammer due to its weight. That seems a liability. But I've never fought with anything that wasn't my fists, so I could be smoking crack.
I think one can actually throw a knife with a great deal of accuracy giving the more balanced weight. Hammer seems to depend on a perfect set of circumstances. A still opponent, a shorter opponent.
I'm still going with the knuckles.

But the hand blender blades have that plastic shield around them. Really, if I can get to the hammer, I can get to the electric drill, so....

Sean, I haven't been arguing theoreticals.
Okay, if we're not arguing theoreticals, we've both been awful short on specifics of circumstance, which, as Allyson's experiment shows, can vary a lot, and lots of other factors, such as experience, training, confidence, bravery, and adrenaline rush of the knife and/or hammer wielder affect the situation.
The point I've been trying to make is that most of those factors have a lot more influence on the outcome of the battle than the center of gravity/dangerous surface area differences between the two weapons.

Ah. Keep an empty beer bottle by the sink. Grab it by the neck. Crack it on the counter so you have a sharp, broken bottle and look crazy. He'll back away, and will likely sweep up the mess if you tell him to.

I would tend to agree with this, although I'd think in either situation the shorter the fight the better.

See Allyson's the really dangerous one. She's got the creative-in-battle thing down.

Am I the last one to know that Jennifer Garner is currently filming an Electra movie?

Saw Harold and Kumar. Laughed a lot.
Have no opinion on weapons, except to state that, predictably, I want a freaking batarang.
