We do not know precisely when the characteristic Islamic saber was introduced, but work to develop this weapon had at least begun in the 13th century. The early Arab swords were heavy, had straight blades, and were carried in a harness over the shoulder and not in a belt around the hips like the saber.
Sabers of this type (talwar) – with a slightly curved blade, a hilt with a large circular pommel, and a sword guard with prominent knobs – are known in large numbers from India from the 17th to the 19th century.
As the saber became more widely used as a decorative weapon, the blade was ornamented with increasingly exquisite motifs. The gold-contoured engravings on this blade present a selection of hunting animals and their prey, a pair of mythical creatures, and a riderless horse.

Come one, come all to Bill Shatner’s School of Overacting!
Ernest Hemingway once won a bet by crafting a six-word short story, that can make people cry. Here it is.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why Hemingway is one of (if not THE) most powerful authors I’ve ever studied.
I remember this.
I don’t get it….oh….OH.
My English teacher had us write 6-word short stories using this beautiful piece of writing as a template.
Mine was: “He hung from his boyfriend’s belt.”
Is it bad that she cried?
