If found you had time traveled and woke with a bladed weapon in your hand who would you want to be?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) July 13th, 2010

If you woke up to find you had traveled back in time and had a bladed weapon in your hand would you want to be a Viking, Templar Knight, Spartan, gladiator, Centurion, or a samurai, and why? Myself I would go for the samurai because they were fine artist like myself but also skilled enough to draw their Katana or Shirasaya disembowel and decapitate their opponent before you can say fact from fiction, truth from diction.

Captain of a Viking ship-crew. These were free men, with just enough discipline to fight together for their objective. Those dudes knew how to party after sacking and burning some Saxon burg. ;^D

Jesus. I would kill myself with it; in doing so, I would indirectly save thousands of lives in the generations to follow.

Austinlad –With what? A machete or a battle ax? I never know anyone who would consider a #10 blade as a weapon.

jfos Was thinking more on the line of an actual physical weapon forged or smith by someone’s hand…..just to clarify. :-)

A Viking. They didn’t invent party down, Garth, but they sure gave it meaning.

That, and hats with horns, own.

And yeah I’m quite aware that the Vikings didn’t actually have animal horns on their helmets, it’s a myth, I know, shut up or I’ll bash all your brains with my rusted over glaive.

@Symbeline If I have to take one to the head please make it a mace or a battle ax nothing else would seem proper.

Berserker's avatar

Vikings don’t care about proper. Rusted glaive it is.
