They are only 45 pounds (according to some star trek fact I recall hearing a decade ago). Doing it one handed like that would require some crazy strong wrist and arm muscles, but it's not like a 200 pound barbell.

And that's not a 200 pound matriarch either!

I don't know, the photo doesn't show all of her. Perhaps she's like a queen ant, and there's more than just a little junk in her trunk.

45 lbs for a hand weapon is completely asinine. Your average 2-handed sword weighs around 5 lbs. A sword like the Guts uses in Berserk - the BFS with a blade six feet long and at least 10 inches wide - would weigh in at around 75-80 lbs. For a weapon as small as the bat'leth to weigh 45 lbs would mean it was essentially made out of plutonium.

Well, in all seriousness, I've held one (guy who used to work here was a rabid trekkie and klingon cosplayer, he MADE HIS OWN BAT'LETH), and it didn't feel 45 pounds, though I couldn't put a real number to it.. maybe 15 pounds? It's big and heavy though, and stiffarming it out in front of you like that WOULD be enough to make a 200 pound guy fall over. Remember, it's not all "blade," the back curve part has to be thicker for the handholds and so it doesn't "wobble" or bend when you swing it - it has to hold itself rigid.

Agreed, but still and all I'd say it wouldn't weight more than 12-15 lbs. They're fairly shitty as far as weapon design goes anyway.

Aha! Ah ha ha ha ha! HA HA HA HA HA!! HAAAAaaaa.... hooooo-weeee boy... ha ha ha...

Spoilered for image size. Nothing bad, although it may put you off from baking meat pastries for a while.

Spoiler: Meat pastries of the damned

-edit-

Well, I thought it was funny.

 

[GasBandit]

The thread says "FUNNY" pictures, not horrifying high-octane-nightmare-fuel pictures, drift!

 

[Sparhawk]

Thread also says "Keep it clean" which I would say your .gif is over that line.

 

[Jiarn]

I found em pretty funny....

While you might be right, that honestly didn't cross my mind when I was looking at his gif.

I seem to be craving some meat pastries all of a sudden

Okay, maybe that last pic was a little too much nightmare fuel. How about a little "raping my childhood" instead?

Spoiler: It is funny, I promise. Maybe

-edit-

Huh. Having an apostrophe in there seems to break the spoiler tag.

Ugh... just.... no.....

I stand corrected. The official weight is just under twelve lb.

God that Doom level was annoying as hell, especially the southeastern part.

I guffawed @Li3n. Well done.

While I don't often post lolpet images, some make me lol enough to think you too might lol. Like this one.

Fade, that's the coolest thing I've seen all day.

Kudos, Fade. Kudos.

That's an only slightly modified model. The normal one has Plankton riding around in his head.
