I think those were the Britons. Or the Celts. Or the Picts. One of the folks that had the woad, anyway.

No peoples fought in the nude, that is just ridiculous. I mean, c'mon, you would be so freakin' vulnerable, you have no protection to anything! 300 was just to show the off the glorious Spartans but they fought in full bronze and iron for sure.
I wouldn't want that cut off by accident.

Olympics and battle are different. One doesn't involve objects that can sever a penis.

Always about the penis, isn't it?

Ouch, I doubt that is common occurance though. It would have to be a damn good shot too. You almost can't get mad with a shot like that.

Yes. Very important topic.

Personally, I would like my penis not cut off in war. I don't think you would be too happy if your boyfriend's or husband's got cut off either.

Some groups in Celtic warbands fought nude. Men and women, both.

In what instance would you like your penis cut off? ;)

We (cultural connection not recent activity) did reportedly sport blue paint though.

One of the wonderful things about pagan festivals is that there is ALWAYS some pasty-pale white accountant or computer programmer who paints his face and body up with woad and goes crashing about the woodlands in various stages of undress for several days.

When it's time to return to the regular world a terrible realization dawns.

Woad is a very effective sunscreen.

Wouldn't that be very painful? Imagine having your, well, you know what, chopped off in the middle of a battle. Ouch. :eek:

Fortunately, the Celts evolved to protect against that...:redface:
