    Spear (pilum) is correct, he removed the nails holding the head on and replaced it with a wooden peg which broke on impact making it impossible for the enemy to throw it back.

    Am I the only one who thinks we should move away from these kind of questions?

    I mean no offence but that question would literally never be asked at a quiz/on any quiz tv show

    Maybe it's time to post OP again:

    1. Answer the Question then Question the Answer

    2. You ask the next question but only if your answer is correct

    3. Your question must be relative to the answer you have given
    correctly or to the subject matter of that answered question.

    e.g What is Irelands smallest County?
    A. Louth
    Q. How many times has Louth won the All-Ireland football C'ship etc.

    4. No ridiculously difficult stuff, keep it all inclusive!

    You got that question out of a 1954 edition of Ireland's Own. The answer is a newspaper.
    Now, like a good man, would you read OP before posting another question.
    My question re property is theft still stands. I'll give the answer and post another if nobody scores by tomorrow.
    Things are quiet here now. Maybe it's because it's Summer, the silly season. ( apologies to CoolWay. )

    Because that's what some loonie yankee media commentator called them because of the French government's coolness to the invasion of Iraq. Was it Ross Limbaugh?

    The Kelvin (abbreviated K) scale measures temperature just like Celsius or Fahrenheit. 0 K is the lowest possible temperature on the Kelvin scale, where everything stops moving. It's absolute zero, and theory says if the temperature of something was at that temperature, the small molecules in that something wouldn't move at all. Besides that, the Kelvin scale and Celsius scale work well together. To convert kelvin to Celcius, simply subtract 273.14. (I.E. 273.14K = 0 deg. C.)

    0 degrees C is 273 K which is freezing
    100 degrees C is 373 K which is boiling

    What is the Kelvin scale?
