Since Bruce Lee was brought up, this seems an opportune time to mention another inscription I've discovered.
This one was in the hallway leading to the loo at a club:
BRCE LVV S NNSYPNSY -CN
Scholars I've consulted are divided on the correct interpretation of this phrase but I believe that this engraving marks the spot where a Ninja dared suggest to Chuck Norris that Bruce Lee could kick his ass.
Related evidence such as some police tape, a blood stained black boot with separated toe & a guitar pick were found in a nearby cupboard.
Some believe these are merely relics of later Ninja activity due to the proximity to babes at the bar & because the police tape is of a type whose first known use is after Chuck Norris.
However if Chuck Norris was around the bar hanging out with babes & killing Ninjas, the police most likely will have needed to order substantial new stocks of police tape.
It is therefore quite possible that this period was in fact the driver of evolution to the new type of police tape![]()
maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
I think Bruce Lee Probably had two hitpoints, and lost the first one early enough in the fight. Either that, or he had more stamina than Norris and simply outlasted him. And I like the idea that you could see the Roman world wonder on the battle map while they were fighting.
again, folks,
history proves that the use of the Bartixian Chuck Norris clone was WAY more cost effective, something to do with the standardization of training language and equipment issue (the Stetson Helmet and Denimothorax) so the unit had a lot more men and was better armored.
However, if your Faction Leader wasn't hit with the "declining civilization" trait series, which disables the Bruce Lee temple building tree in addition to making it economically impossible to survive the 1st 5 turns, then the recruitment of a mass of Bruce Lees was possible, but only if your start position was rich in mining resources and had good sea trade. So, that said, if you were able to mass Bruce Lees, you had basically already met your faction's victory conditions, but if you were at all short of your VC's, the Chuck Norris strategy was pretty much the only way to go.

Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:
"Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
"The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"
WTF Chuck Norris doesnt wear Lorica Segmentata?????
And where is Bruce Lee Katraphactoi Camel???
And why cant I recruit them both in Atlantis with Bactrix??
That is unhistorical and should be modded as I speakl!!!!!!!![]()

Remember in Way of the Dragon/Return of the Dragon, when Bruce Lee manages to grab off a handfull of Chuck Norris's chest hairs? That was Lee's AP trait at working subduing Norris's chest hair armor.Originally Posted by Wolfman

Jackie Chan is just an actor - at best, he is merely one of Bruce Lee's ancillaries.Originally Posted by Beefy187
Haven't you seen Enter the Dragon? During Lee's fight with 3 units of city guards (commanded by the charismatic, hale & hearty, but dull governor Han), Lee snaps the head of one of the guards who was played by Jackie Chan.
Just from an academic standpoint Would chuck norris chest hair armor implant from Bartaxia also explain his Germanic ancestors near invulnerability in battle?

Unfortunately Jackie Chan has a lethality of 0 since all he does is bounce around the battlefield and knocking down the enemy.

On a side note, i hate how in these kind of movies the "good guy" always breaks people's necks like they are very, very dry twigs. They just move their palms a little and BAM the neck is brokenOriginally Posted by Intranetusa

The worst example is Steven Seagal, he always breaks about 50 necks per movie like that. He also tends to break everyone's arms and legs too
I can imagine him taking on a Roman legion: *snap* *snap* *snap* *snap* *snap* *snap* etc
Don't underestimate the power of the vibrating palm. On second thoughts, perphaps some of these films should carry a mental health warning.Originally Posted by blank

I was under the impression Jesus was the son of God...? Then again Christians killed each other over the issue for a millenia and never got anywhere.
But since Chuck Norris, obviously, is God he should have no trouble dealing with some punkass son/aspect/emnation. Although that begs the question of what Bruce Lee then was, as he taught Chuck the ropes...
Deep, man.

BTW, what acctualy happens if you set a units lethalit to 0?
Does it still knock people down or is it completly inefective.
Cause if it was the former, you could have a very funny unit with 99ap attack and 0 lethality, it would win by knocking all the enemies over, but it would be a bloodless battle. Imagine a unit of them defending a town square...
Mind you, they would suck against cav, cuase cav can't be knocked down.

Seriously, the whole Trinity thing has to have been about the single biggest self-imposed source of theological trouble for the whole faith. I've no doubt the Muslims tended to regard it with puzzled mirth (when they weren't snickering at the equally crackpot and troublesome transsubstantion issue).
But I digress. We're talking about Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee here, not misguided heathen idolatry.![]()
