Deadliest Warriors -- Photo of the Week 25 May 2009
>> 26 May 2009
Late posting. Was on some vacation.
Taken from the blog at foreignpolicy.com, with a caption that reads:
"Belarussian special forces soldiers use a sledgehammer to break flaming bricks on their backs in Minsk" (emphasis added)I don't claim to know what is going on in the former Soviet republics, but man.
Anybody seen this show called Deadliest Warrior? Talk about a rallying point for all Renaissance Fair and Quill & The Sword types. This show spends an hour simulating ancient warriors (ie Spartan vs. Ninja, etc) fighting against each other, then has a real-life re-creation at the end. Geeks unite.
Anyway, I showed Josh M this photo and here was the ensuing IM conversation:
JoshM: dude, that belarussian guy needs to be on deadliest warriorToo bad.
Me: dude is nuts
JoshM: this week they are doing the braveheart guy versus shaka zulu
Me: maybe they'll bring in mel gibson for the re-enactment
JoshM: and wesley snipes as shaka zulu
Me: wesley snipes could use the employment. i don't know if portraying mel gibson killing shaka zulu would do well for his already racist image
JoshM: good point
JoshM: he may have turned down the offer
You better have had a happy Monday, what with the day off and all. And taken a second to remember why we had the holiday.
2 ideas preached:
Waterboarding vs. "use a sledgehammer to break flaming bricks on their backs"
Which is worse? Perhaps Sean Hannity could find out? :)
I still can't believe the ninja lost out to the Spartan on the deadliest warrior we watched. Did you hear about that show How Bruce Lee changed the world on the History channel?
