Getting the still-beating heart out was possible with obsidian, so maybe carbon fibre etc works too? Needs experimentation in the interests of academic research/experimental archaeology, there's probably a PhD thesis in there for someone. Any volunteers?

I was banned from watching 'Merlin' with the family as I kept shouting 'Oi, you're bard' every time Taliesin appeared on screen.

"Druidry is one of the first known spiritual practises in Britain" Just which muppet is responsible for this? Is the State seriously expecting the rest of society to take them seriously when they give organisations "legal" status partially based on such spurious detritus? Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantastic!

Actually, the bits about the 'first known spiritual practices' is part of the bumf from the group itself. What the Charity Commission said was
Quote:The Charity Commission has accepted that druids' worship of natural spirits could be seen as religious activity.
They filled in the right little boxes, so they got the status. It doesn't protect them, it's a tax issue as much as anything because of the money they receive from memebership fees. All the rest of the fluffery is what the Druids Network is putting out as publicity. Just a bit of spin.

Wax Wrote:Is it the same? can you decapitate someone with one stroke of a "plastic" or wooden sword?:face-huh:
Warning...this is light-hearted, not serious!
No but the 'principle' is the same, killing is killing, but the target locations are different. Even a wooden stick rammed up into the solar plexus can potentially kill.
To decapitate someone with a metal sword in a single blow takes a very sharp and specialised weapon and a skilled user.

It's all madness, you'd never believe it would you? Next you'll be telling me a science-fiction writer has invented his own religion and loads of people, maybe even celebrities, are taking it seriously.
As if!

He's already got the Jedi so don't think he needs the other lot....

Joke?
Bad one, but still... a joke.
Ok, it was Tom Cruise, he's the one. This L Ron guy is just a front.

Do most world religions boil down to some charismatic guy, and it usually is a guy, telling everyone he has a direct line to god or the gods?
If this is the case Mr hubbard Mr Lucas etc are in good company.
Wonder if BAJR could start a new religion}
