LOL - good one, Rob!

You, and the Highway Department of a state near you...

I'm going to assume a standard garden shovel: spade-shaped blade, approx. 4-foot wooden handle, manipulated as a quarterstaff might be.

A baseball bat is at its most effective only when swung; sure, it can be used end-on to punch, but it hasn't got the reach. A shovel is designed from square one as a stabbing implement, it's longer, and the handle is strong enough to block bat swings.

Without an element of surprise, Shovel Man beats Bat Man *ahem* in spades. In fact, I'd give Quarterstaff Man the odds over Bat Man, forgetting the shovel blade.

OK, Zhavric... same setup; who wins: Mace or Sword?

  - Yeah, and is it long-and-skinny headed, like a 'Sharp Shooter', or broad and flat. Or for snow? Hey- it matters! - Davin L. - 8/23/2003 12:35:29 AM
