Any crossbow which is designed or altered to be fired by the action of one hand, or has a length not exceeding 500mm, is a prohibited weapon and thus illegal.

  So 'the crossbow' is not illegal, but only certain ones.

Genoese crossbows = fine.

I'm currently watching a documentary about drug dealers in Chicago.
I remember watching another documentary a while ago about poor people in Glasgow. They decided to subtitle the people despite them being perfectly understandable.
Yet here with these Chicago gangbangers where they really need the subs...nada.
Damn you TV.

(yes, yes, different film makers and whatnot)

Oh, well they're Danish amateurs who are building a manned space rocket they plan to send 150 km up on a a budget of only a few tens of thousands of dollars.

That was a test launch.

Boring.

They also built their own submarine.

Morally wrong.

Do you think the crossbow should be banned, too?

A crossbow is no threat to the proper order, and so no.

Just saw the new X-Men movie. I liked it.

Apparently it didn't follow the comics, though, which pissed off some of the other people in the theater. I hope all future comic book movies piss all over the comics.

It does look awesome. I've not been to the cinema for literally years but want to see that one.

He would have been better off saying Air Forces, another device that made dreadnoughts obsolete.

Don't be ridiculous.  Dreadnoughts survived long into the age of cowardly aircraft.

When alongside aircraft carriers.  Taffy 3 notwithstanding.

Unfortunately, I will always see Danes as a people as less then dogs.  Before I knew of Denmark, my neighbors bought a huge dog called a Great Dane.  The great Dane became the reference point, and the people known as Danes were always known in my mind as the "Not-so-great-Danes".

I saw a boxing match for the first time in years this evening, Mikkel 'The Viking Warrior' Kessler against some French guy who was only there to be beaten.

I did not become a fan.

Even a bad boxing match is better than that MMA shit that the kids all seem to like these days.

MMA is gay rolling around and punching each other in the balls.

  Boxing is a real sport.
