    Yeap, thats the halberd. Not to sure why its called that but it is, unless they've changed it is more recent years. Hibernian axe sounds better. Back in the 60s the culture was called the "halberd men" or "men of the halberd".

    Ugh. Whoever came up with that name cannot have checked very recently what kind of pole-weapon exactly the term "halberd" refers to...
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
