Was the Knife that strong?

[sam]

Didn't get to find out the question, my mum said no to the questionnaire. I said I thought that it would be BBC propaganda.

If she's worried about a questionnaire, I'd have thought she'd want to stop you watching BBC television altogether. TV can do strange things to the mind when big benevolent organisations are responsible, after all .

[sam]

Yeah, I've had way to much crappy TV affect me. I think thats why I hate childrens programs so much. I prefer a good film than some of the stuff they have on BBC now-a-days, to many repeats. I now hate Only fools and horses and hate christmas because of the BBC.

You could just.....not watch it.

[sam]

Well that would be the easy way out of it.

OK, here's a little thought-experiment.

What happens if you (or Will Parry) walk up to a high vertical wall (let's say it's made of the finest, densest marble and it's 100 metres high) and attempts to stick the Knife into it so that, say, he can use it to climb the wall. Is that possible?

I'd say perhaps it couldn't be done, except we're told the knife can cut through rock. The point would be thin enough to pass between atoms, but it would probably jam part-way down as the blade got thicker. As well as not being designed as a coventional weapon, it's not really cut out for manual stuff either. Blades like Death's scythe that appeared almost transparent could do it.

Not strong, just accurate. Big difference.

Could I say that I got told off for reviving old threads, and that mine were less dead than this one???
