My experience is that a dropped knife lands point-first on the expensive
hardwood floor.
Feet heal.

The NFL should go international. I'd pay to
see the Detroit Lions vs the Roman Catholics.

Probably from the Matrix, when Neo comes in to see the Oracle.

My wife has been using NTB for longer than that. I won't say to whom :)

I sharpen my big kitchen knife about once every month, it surprising how you
don't notice it going blunt gradually, but then after sharpening it boy is
it nice to use :-) I hate going to my mum's house and trying to use her
knives, you need to apply about 10x as much force to cut!
The only disadvantage with a really sharp knife is that you don't even
notice when you've cut yourself "oh, why is this potato red inside?" :-)

So they know who to contact if they get any complaints about a certain IP.

Why not?
I've done martial arts (including sword work) for 14 years. It's an ornament
(along with the knives) and it's sometimes used for solo practice.
It is balanced for use. I made sure of that before buying it. The difference
in feel between the katana and the woodern swords is definitly noticable.

Oh, right. I see.
One of my dad's friends used to collect samuri swords. But [apparently]
his wife wasn't really thrilled about having a house full of blades so
sharp they can cut through silk under its own weight.
...so now he collects decorated sword *handles*. o_O
