jasonandrewI 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

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