Poll question: In an all out epic battle, who'd win?
Nuns with Guns?


Militant, fanatical, armed, Wal-Mart Employees?

1. Nuns. They're meaner.

2. Well,
I don't know.

In my experience, nuns' combat skills lie primarily in close combat with hand-weapons (and mano a la cabeza)... But perhaps they were forbidden from using firearms (on the students) -- and therefore have skills that I wasn't made (painfully) aware of.

3. The nuns, no question
Our nuns were from Guatemala (a torture state for the uninitiated) and wore large, gruesome rope knot rosaries around their waists. They could hit you at five paces using those things like a bandallero and take you straight down. It was a long time ago, but I can still here the frightening "whizzing" and "feel" the sting on my calves. I believe they were from the Order of Saint Malice Aforethought.

4. Lol
Truly, nuns show great ingenuity with field-expedient hand-weapons.

But charging in for hand-to-hand combat against rifle armed opponents is a risky tactic... And those Walmart employees may be the more experienced gun users -- just to eat.
