Believe it or not, Slashdot Polearm poll

Post by Rich Jordan »

Just saw the current poll on slashdot is to select your favorite polearm.

- Bec de Corbin
- Ranseur
- Bardiche
- Lochaber axe
- Spetum
- Halberd
- Glaive
- Naginata

In case folks here would like to raise the knowledge and IQ levels of the polltaker groups as a whole. Just don't stay too long and wash your hands afterwards and you should be ok.

That would be more properly classified as a chemical or biological weapon, than a polearm.
