Hmmm, my first entry, but it doesn't show up on Search....what am I doing wrong?
Sci Vo: Nothing. It just seems to take a few days for new additions to show up in Search.
Thanks!
- Revlid: In the Fifth Elephant example, it should probably be noted that Inigo did have a spring-out blade hidden in his sleeve, so this is possibly a Justified Trope.
- Patsy: hardly justified, I'd say. You ever try decapitating someone with a knife? That just changes is from a totally bizarre example of the trope to a fairly typical example. Worth mentioning though.
Also, I took this out:
- Castlevania subverts this because the main characters are armed with whips. Whips are technically real life examples as they flay skin from bones.
Rissa: What does the Department of Redundancy Department have to do with all this?

- The Buffy/Vampire thing confuses me. I never heard that about vampires in Buffy. The titular character can impale things with much ease because she has super-strength.
