The Deadliest Warrior

I love this show.

It sounds like the most retarded thing ever. But alas, it is filled with awesome.

Each week, a group of doctors, historians, and martial art experts simulate a battle between two of history's famous warriors.

They use a computer program and modern forensics to run through the statistics of which fighter and runs them through a fight.

Viking Versus Samurai: Viking win due to superior technology in armor.

Knight Versus Pirate: Pirate wins due to the blunderbus. Firearms win in a fight versus swords and armor.

The show has a web-site at http://www.spike.com/show/31082

I thought the Samurai won. Not by much, but I'm pretty sure it was Samurai/Viking by 522/478.

And yes, this show seems dumb by concept, but it's really fun to watch them nerd out over it.

And I love the fact the Spartan beat the Ninja. But of course it should have been Pirate vs. Ninja.

Maybe I forgot.

I remember the tests where the katana couldnt touch the viking.

Oh yeah, the bow.

I remember now. You are right.
