    The other 40% must not be lactose intolerant, allergic to dairy or vegetarian/vegan. And the 11th-century Chinese soldiers got their armor and themselves turned into shreds. Good luck on breaking Mr. Snead’s record, Mr. Woods.

    I was raised in Augusta, GA, about a mile south of the National. Every year, the Masters would have an open house on the Wednesday before play started. I met Sam Snead at one of those open houses when I was about about ten years ond, and he talked to me for a long time and was one of the nicest men I have ever met.

    Paper armor was checked by MythBusters – it was almost as effective as steel, and much lighter.

    If you quite drinking milk for any length of time you loss the ability to digest milk. lactase, reaches its highest levels in the small intestines after birth and then begins a slow decline unless milk is consumed regularly.[

    Cow’s milk is for baby cows, just like a human woman’s milk is for baby humans. The dairy industry has brainwashed the public into thinking cow’s milk is good for you, but just like most corporations, they are out to make money. As for calcium, the protein strain in cow’s milk, doesn’t allow the human body to absorb the calcium, thus you just pass it with your urine. Research it, and you will find that hip fractures and other related bone issues occurring from calcium deficiencies, occur in lifelong cow’s milk drinkers. Cow’s milk is also full of estrogen, which women already produce naturally, so do you think dumping a bunch more estrogen into your body is good for it? At least 60% of the human populous is proving that once again, just because a corporation that profits by selling you cow’s milk tells you it’s good for you, doesn’t mean it’s the truth. Follow the money.

    The Mongols used silk as an armor ( of sorts ) Every mongol warrior wore a silk undergarment beneath his armor. If he got hit by an arrow, the point would not peneterate the silk, but would carry it into the wound, This allowed the arrow to be removed later without the arrow barbs tearing the flesh.
