Which is turning out to be like shooting yourself in the head to stop your headache." --Jack Mayberry "I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one.

Five hundred years without a war. Pretty impressive. Also pretty lucky for them. Ever see that little Swiss Army knife they have to fight with? Not much of a weapon there. Corkscrews. Bottle openers.
