I admit you were right, i watched the first section of the ken burns documentary on the civil war and they did mention broadswords. It appears that Brown somehow got hold of several European (probably scottish) broadswords, a weapon not used widely since the late 1600's when it was replaced by a lighter straightsword. Apparently Brown was intent on actually hacking limbs off, a task broadswords excell at, so good job Mr. Carlisle, i'm mildly impressed.
"'The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening.'"
I have to say this was my favorite part. He's obviously crazy; I don't know why anyone would want to stop Kit-Kats for everyone.
That time traveler article is 100% hilarious. I like the part where the Police are "baffled, but not that bothered." How can you be so calm at a time where the future could easily become a "communist chocolate hellhole?" How do we fix this? Let's... disrupt the amount of mountain dew getting into the vending machines? Who would have guessed?
That Higgs article is such crap. First off, they don't sell Mt. Dew in Europe. Secondly, Mr. Cole being put away from claiming to be from the future? Sounds a lot like Twelve Monkeys... And lastly, if poverty is eliminated, the obvious source of energy and food to pass around in this futuristic world is obviously Kit-Kats... Right?

@Andy
You got owned by Mr. Carlizzle. Don't worry, happens to the best of us.
7:14 PM
it certainly does, have to admit Brown was a bit of a bad*** to use a weapon like a broadsword. I respect him more than your average radical.
7:16 PM
I would use a broadsword if I was a radical.
7:18 PM
Mildly impressed???
7:19 PM
Joe, don't you have some reading to do?
7:21 PM
What makes you think I didn't read Mr. Carlisle?
7:22 PM
Maybe John Brown had an aspiration to be an American William Wallace.....
7:30 PM
oooh! just read about the use of Sharps Carbines in the reading, very innovative piece of machinery
7:33 PM
Joe,
Stop being so sensitive.
Andy,
Indeed. It was the BEST rifle of its time. Incredibly accurate and quite powerful.
7:48 PM

Major bad@$$ points to John Brown for splitting their heads open with broadswords.
