Yea, definitely not designed for actual use. Probably just want to hang it on your wall or something.

Whoa whoa whoa... is that a fingerprint in blood? I bet it is, isn't it...? Knowing these guys it's gotta be.
Even when I see Elrond in LotR, that's actually just Agent Smith in a funny costume.
It could even be a far right racist propaganda bot.
I'm just trying to imagine having to bend that thing all the way back around to string it, and I'm already feeling the frustration.
I know there's probably a technique for it, using your legs to trap it or something, but that's still gotta be a wrestling match.
edit: This was bugging me enough that I had to google it:
Stringing starts around halfway through the vid. Two legs and what looks like arm strength is the key, where a longbow uses one leg and more of your torso.
Alternate challenge: Find a line of more than just a few words from Holy Grail that won't be recognized.
...wat?
That's gotta be an internal decapitation, right? I cannot fathom how a full decapitation happens during delivery, unless someone was using a straight up lightsaber to cut the umbilical cord or something.
I would check myself, but I just don't want to for some reason.
Peak flexibility and comfort for plate armor, with full marks for style. 10/10, would wear to ceremonial duties or riot suppression. Would probably go without for large-scale battle, though, not stopping a projectile of the period.
We found them.
Wouldn't we also be under enough pressure to begin fusing some of that hydrogen into helium at that point?
I was just gonna say, a squash that I cut in half, hollow out and dry is pretty low-tech stuff. Could probably use a coconut if you were in a pinch... Lot of options.
They don't mention it specifically, but I thought osmosis was the primary mechanism. Water flows towards dissolved solutes, and honey has tons of solute and little water, so water will flow out of bacteria into the honey until an equilibrium is reached. Bacteria can't survive that level of dessication.
Then if you want to make mead, the first thing you have to do is add a bunch of water so bacteria can grow.
