Via Slashdot, which I tend to despite because of the caste of internetetter that inhabits it, but let me disclaim:
The first comment to this article:
Helicopter versus spearmen?
The f#*&ing spearmen.
This made me lol. If you’re not a fan of the series of Civilization games, the earlier ones had a funny mechanic where wins and losses in combat were random enough where you could have a situation where a helicopter or tank or some kind of advanced military unit could attack a spearman and the spearman would win.
The comment of course is in reguard to the picture that was posted, where a helicopter is flying over parts of obscure jungle, where uncontacted tribes of people are living. They are shooting arrows at the copter most likely because they are scared shitless of it. Kind of fascinating.
