Wheel of Time Trivia

A point of some interest to a very small company. In one of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series; Matt (who is a ta’veren and of course this might be significant) is short of ready coin and decides to remedy the situation by finding and challenging the two best swordsman to a dual. He bets that he can best both of them at the same time. His weapon of choice is the quarter staff. He in fact wins the bet. The weapons master tells the surprised audience that the best swordsman of another age who was never bested with a sword was in fact humbled once in his life by an opponent whose weapon of choice was a quarter staff.

We are led to believe that a master with a quarter staff will overcome a master with a sword. I always did like a walking stick.

Whoah Hoh! He's back! Just to let you know that I read this thing almost every day I thought I'd say that this is just the sort of randomly interesting stuff that I find very interesting. Some time you need to give your breakdown of the "little fuzzy" world.

As I recall from my childhood approximately 25% of all situations in life could be understood better if seen in relation to a story from the fuzzy's. So this is probably very important stuff indeed.

And now that I think of it... if you could somehow link the Fuzzy universe to the problems in Zimbabwe and then reflect on this in light of Holy Scripture... You might just have the best blog in the blogosphere.
