The Shadow had guns from the beginning as well. Twin .45's.

Silver compounds have some antiseptic qualities. Silver nitrate is sometimes used to staunch the bleeding of small wounds. I couldn't say if metalic silver in its pure form would be effective, though. Oddly enough - and I'm not joking - I'm allergic to silver. If I wear it long enough (usually arou...

Quentyn set down next to a small group of people doing something odd in the middle of a field. Some were dressed and operating small boxes with lenses, others were in various stages of undress and doing... 'things' while the boxes were pointed at them. Finding they could communicate, one of them, c...

Actually I am pretty the guns are a modern addition. Nope, sorry. When Bob Kane created Batman, he armed him with guns. It wasn't until some issues later that he took the guns away, and eventually decided that Bruce would have a (small) hangup about guns thanks to the death of his parents. Mr. Kane...

Let's just hope to god that Gus doesn't decide to go "Sailor Bubba" on us. ...he doesn't strike me as the type who would have the deeply rooted self confidence necessary to engage in such a role... he would probably consider it too much against his masculinity... for this reason I would VERY much l...

The Adam West Batman was entertaining. The 'new', darker and brooding one makes me wonder if something happened to the intensity and contrast controls of my TV... The architecture and plots are so 'goth' and well... yawn... That's sort of the point, Tony. Hell, originally, Batman killed criminals. ...

*shrugs* I've always been an NCO at heart. The ladies in my life make the strategy, I form the tactics. And being thick is useful at times. I've literally walked into a fire twice because my ladies have told me to. It didn't occur to me that I should be scared for my life until AFTER it was all over...

Indeed... that's why some portions of the Harry Potter books annoy me so. It's as if JKR took a pair of scissors and a pot of paste to some of Dickens' "poor lil' orphan" books.

Take it from someone whose first filling was installed before they knew the standard dosage of Novocaine didn't work on me... that's right, completely undeadened. And then they finished, sat me up in the chair (once I'd stopped screaming), pointed to my properly-sedated sister, and said "There, tha...

Now that adjective is both incrediably descriptive and poetic. Thanks for the linguistic imagery.

Even before the gun came along, the Welsh Longbow proved to be a very cost-effective way of taking down Knights and led directly to the Magna Carta, the first time an English king agreed to bow to the rule of law in 1251. The Welsh longbow wasn't in general use in England at the time. The Magna Car...

And as for the accent? That was straight from my grandfather. Trust me, when he REALLY got going, you couldn't be sure he was even speaking English. :D Eek! Good grief... well, it still wasn't appropriate for the Dixie Chicks. I take it your grandfather was Appalachian? (Guess it wasn't a corny acc...

Public figures have brains and balls, Kickaha. The last time anyone could pretend otherwise was back when we could still believe Rock Hudson was straight. Charles Lindbergh was pro-Nazi; Clark Gable couldn't take being in the military, no matter HOW much he loved Carole Lombard; and the biggest act...

That's why I never open my door unless I'm fully dressed, not even to get the paper or mail. (Getting locked out of your house once in your PJs in the middle of a sub-zero winter morning and having to go next door for rescue will do that to you!) Mind you, except for the worst of the summer, I slee...

Hyper? Yes. Realistic? not even close. I didn't mean the *ahem* "anatomy". I meant the fur, the sometimes photo-realistic fine details. It's almost as if a certain un-named artist nipped off to an alternate dimension, and did his art from "life". (Although I REALLY don't want to think about what "l...

Well, his art IS cartoonish, but then it's a cartoon! Now, there ARE cartoonists who draw as if they were a damned camera, almost photo-realistic. Indeed, some could be described as HYPER-realistic.
