Tasadin 0 #26 April 18, 2003 The historical answer is that through out history the english have out gunned and out fired the french. An english longbowman could put 3 arrows in the air to the french one and in naval battles the english could discharge 2.5 cannon the french one. Thus during the hundred years war england vs france the longbowmen used to throw their two bow drawing fingers at the french,cos whenever they were caught the french cut off those two fingers. It is inicidental to add that an average englishman drawing a longbow with an arrow could pierce armour up to 3/4 inch thick!! "If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough."

I mean, does even the slowest male have a chance against even the least enlightened chick? Me think not. Oh wait it's an a-thon. Well, I guess every penny helps.
