Potentially lobs the head off someone sneaking up to stab you in the back.

I think we'd both agree that that would make for fantastic television.

That cliche of the History Channel having shows about history. I'm so glad that did away with that.

Judging by the rise of Stalin and Mussolini shows, I think that the Hitler cliche is dying out too.

Anybody else notice how the police in detective shows are incapable of investigating a murder until they've made an attractive display board for it?
I can only presume the initial dialogue in the police station goes like this:-

- This is a tough case!
- I'm on it, sarge. I´ve already taken a bunch of photos out of their files.
- Well done! We're gonna need some more drawing pins. Detective, go buy some coloured tapes too. Let's go pink, yellow and blue for this one.
...And who's got a map haven't cut up yet?

Surely that should be the first act of the drama? The police rushing out for office supplies.
