A picture from the Blackadder Back and Forth Movie featuring the marvellous Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie in their completely authentic Roman armour.
Apparently the Roman extras seen here in the background didn't liked to be numbered "I, I-I, I-I-I, I-V" and so on.

Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki in The Big Bang Theory.

**********************************************************************

Leonard: It’s from Game of Thrones. What do you think?

Sheldon: I don’t know. If we’re going to start a fantasy sword collection, and I’ve long thought we should, is this really the sword to start with?

Leonard: What did you have in mind?

Sheldon: Well, off the top of my head, I’d have to go with Excalibur. It gives you the right to rule England.

Leonard: It would be a replica of a movie prop.

Sheldon: Fair enough. It’d give you the right to rule a replica of England.

Leonard: Well, they don’t have an Excalibur here, so what do you want to do?

Sheldon: Mm. Tough decision. There’s no weaponry from Lord of the Rings, forged in a Chinese sweatshop?

Leonard: Just Bilbo Baggins’ sword over there.

Sheldon: Two grown men with a hobbit’s dagger; wouldn’t we look silly? Okay, let’s go for it.

Here's another Pic of Bruce Dickinson, lead singer for the British hard rock band Iron Maiden. In the UK, he was ranked as high as #7 in foil.

"Fencing is physical, mental and spiritual. It devours you, from the deepest bottom of your soul to the tip of your toes. Everytime you enter a game you offer the opponent the ability to crush your ego. And if it's an important match then it's more important than life and death. Mentally, fencing is fiercely brutal and humiliating." Bruce Dickinson[/url]
