Okay, I'm not sure that this is real or not, but I found it hillarious, and it got me thinking... what about the weird stuff that really did exist during the middle ages? So if you've found something in period that is particularly odd, this is the place to tell about it!!
The Vultite Chicken
The Deadly Serrated-beak Vultite Chicken (with fiercesome pecking crits) was perhaps the most feared weapon ever wielded. Fashioned from a pugnacious fowl who died in the cockfight ring, chemical and herb induced hyper-rigormortis allowed the wielder to use the chicken much like any other edged weapon. The chicken's beak was replaced with a finely crafted blade of purest vultite and tempered with heat and successive applications of the "special recipe" (this ritual was commonly performed in the water closet). Held by the legs, the weapon could be used for both thrusting and slashing. Depending on the size of the chicken's head, the comb could also act as a knuckleguard of sorts. Most importantly, when sheathed, the protruding chicken-body made a nice party-gag.
Edit: Yes, I know it's a joke, people, but it's silly! Got any weird old wives' tales? Odd pictures? This is the place! (think medieval attemts at birth control, I'm sure you'll find something funny...)

Brigit the slave child I could not see anyone ever being afraid of such a thing. That aside, nothing short of mumification could make a dead chicken anywhere NEAR suitable as a hilt. THAT aside, no fighter with any sense would trade a comfy grip for a chicken. THAT aside, the chicken wouldn't connect right with the blade. The first stab would take the tang right out, and then the brave hero would be left with nothing but a firm c**k. And that never did any good in battle. THAT aside, poo does not a strong blade make.
It was a druken part gag, the chicken and a stick ran trough it and the would spar with it, I have seen the rubber chicken sword fight at war, do ask I hang out with alot of drunk fighters, its amussing really. |
