The art work is no doubt beautiful and makes great desktops. But one recurring image tends to bother me. The old sword cleaving through the helm.

As far as I know this is impossible. When I see things like this it tend to jepordize what is historically legit and what it not. How much of the image is being "romanticized". Just one of the things I think about when I should watching the road. |

| Yeah, it could very well be romanticized, I personally have experienced cutting through bone (let alone a skull with a helm on it!) But I dont think I would debunk it just because it seems improbable....Looks like we'll have to test this one! tell cory to buy a pig head and Scott can make an helm. |
