What samurai thing? Did I miss a post?
Johns Hopkins undergrad caught a burglar in the act. Burglar had hit their house previously. Burglar lunged at student who had his samurai sword out. He chopped the guy's hands off and burglar bled to death.
Hands! Hands in new places!

Okay, he only chopped off one hand.

In other blade related mayhem, teen stabs mother in back while hugging her.
Okay, technically not mayhem like the Johns Hopkins sitch because no limbs were lost. Everybody's clear on that right? Mayhem = limb loss. And while we're at it, let's all be mindful of how we use "decimation," which is, of course, one in ten.

Because books.
A samurai sword sounds much more efficient than a baseball bat, I have to say.

One swing limb lopping!
Though, to be fair to the baseball bat, it'd probably only take one well aimed blow to the head for a killshot.
Still, you can't swing at somebody's hands with a bat and wind up with a corpse.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

As much as I agree that people invariably use decimate when they should say devastate, I have never heard decimate used in the traditional sense, nor do I find it likely that it will resume. This battle has been lost.

It made more sense when cannons were firing at infantrymen.
Then you get a proper decimation.
