I thought that was the recline!
Well, I'm not a historian or scientist, but the Bible does mention steel four or five times. They also mention iron as a separate substance, so I don't think it was a mistranslation by the King James people.
The "bow of steel" mention was not the result of my paraphrasing, that's what it actually says.
Personally I don't know how you can "break" steel either, but again, that's what it says...
Apologies for the almost-jack of the thread.

I'm telling you - there is a reason why you have a long-form physical when you hit the "5s" - 25, 30, 35, etc. You go downhill exponentially once you turn a quarter-century old. It hurts just to get up in the morning.
In fact, I read somewhere that something (like a car) 20 years old is a "classic," and 25 years old or older is "antique."
I agree.

I agree.
One of my personal favorites:
"Marines are about the most peculiar breed of human beings I have ever witnessed. They treat their service as if it was some kind of cult, plastering their emblem on almost everything they own, making themselves up to look like insane fanatics with haircuts to ungentlemanly lengths, worshipping their Commandant almost as if he was a god, and making weird animal noises like a band of savages. They'll fight like rabid dogs at the drop of a hat just for the sake of a little action, and are the cockiest SOB's I have ever known. Most have the foulest mouths and drink well beyond man's normal limits, but their high spirits and sense of brotherhood set them apart and , generally speaking, of the United States Marines I've come in contact with, are the most professional soldiers and the finest men I have had the pleasure to meet."

I'll probably catch hell for this, but it's a good quote anyway...
"A Marine should be sworn to the patient endurance of hardships, like the ancient knights; and it is not the least of these necessary hardships to have to serve with sailors."
--Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery
