    Or, for about the same amount of money you can find a nice used AR-15 carbine and AK47, and live out your counterstrike fantasies, with their REAL LIFE counterparts, that shoot, REAL BULLETS.

    $1,000 for a fake gun, that's really pushing it.

    @Kobun: I don't see how a decorative samurai sword/katana could sever a hand, it would have to have been sharpened.

    When a decorative katana is sharpened it is no longer decorative, it's classified as a weapon (it's the law)

    What's weird to me though is that the burglar bled out at the scene and wasn't handed a towel or at least some assistance. Losing a hand over some dollars seems punishment enough, losing one's life seems overdoing it a little.

    Alás, not all the facts are presented, so forming an opinion seems useless... Still, a katana is an awesome choice of weapon when fending off invaders.

    @Rompehamster: Hey! I taught Jesus how to tap dance. We were both stuck in a cave a while back and had nothing better to do. He suggested Bridge, but the cave was too dark to see the cards. All we had were some old hardened dancing shoes left behind from some ceremony. That's when I got the idea of type of dancing that involved making noise.

    Sure it may look silly, but you have to understand; it was invented by a couple of people who couldn't see at the time.

    The more you know.
