A Mighty Whack.

"The humble axe."

"While the axe did go through several major design shifts over the course of human history, by the time we get to 1022, we had already settled on a more or less straight shaft with a head made of iron/steel, with an opening or 'eye' that the haft goes through."

"If you walked into any big-box hardware store and bought a Collins axe and then took it back to 1022 and showed it to someone, they'd think the style was strange and they'd be astonished to find that the whole head was made of steel, but that's it."

"They'd be all, 'yeah, that's an axe'."

"'Obviously from some foreign country where everyone's rich, but it's just an axe'."- Glasnerven

"'Amazing'."- DurtyKurty

A beach fixture.

"Horseshoe Crabs."

"My understand is they have been pretty much the same for a LONG time."

Change is good, there's no doubt about that.

But it can be comforting to know that with each passing year, some things will always be the same.
