Ha' date=' I was right, it's only in the anime.

 

 

Good thing I only read manga.

Wait, what was only in the anime? The void century thing? Or something else entirely?

 

Fillers apperantly. ;D

 

 

I wonder what would happen if Itatchi hit LeLouch with Tsukiyomi at the same time LeLouch his Itatchi with the Geass...

 

See creator, SAME TIME, you can't say Lelouch's is faster.

 

 

If that happens they both die as they are completly controlled by the other so neither of them can make a command and they simply are comatose.

@Broxret: Kid is relatively recent but you can use him if you want.

@Nexev: well you see' date=' it all started back in Salem....yeah i'm not going to teach the whole history lesson.

No one burned in Salem, one stonning and many hangings but Britian used fire, no one else.

 

 

For the stoning there is actually a badass story.

 

According to colonial law, a person who refused to plead innocent or guilty of a crime could not be tried. This was particularly vexing to the courts when they had people accused of witchcraft, since they weren't going to torch themselves.

 

Their remedy for this was "peine forte et dure", the process where the accused was slowly compacted by rocks until a plea was entered. "Tough love" was pretty new back then and clearly had some refining left. Giles Corey, knowing he wouldn't be afforded a fair trial, challenged every plea request with the above "More weight," as in, "add more stones." He did this literally down to his last breath.

 

No matter how enormous the rocks they stacked on Giles, it's evident he was carrying the largest stones in the room before he even walked in.

Thing is this: If you were "guilty" you died by being crushed by the stones. However to prove your innocence you had to remain underwater. If you came back up your floated and must be a witch. So you either were stoned or drowned.

 

Tough Love my A**.

cool story bro I knew hanging was the punishment, not burning, however I think I've only heard of the stones like once before. Thanks for the info Nexev.

 

Thing is this: If you were "guilty" you died by being crushed by the stones. However to prove your innocence you had to remain underwater. If you came back up your floated and must be a witch. So you either were stoned or drowned.

 

Because if you float you must weight as much as a duck, which means you're made of wood, and therefore.... a witch! Somebody better get the reference.

(Typing on a computer is so nice. I made my last two posts here on my PSP and typing even that little was a major pain.)

@Andx

Answer these questions three' date=' and see the other side you will.

 

Gotta love Monty Python.

Thank you Lelouch. I wouldn't have known what to do if no one had gotten that.

 

Now everyone take the following quiz if you want to cross the bridge. Incorrect answers get you magically tossed off into a pit of lava, but no pressure.

 

1.) What is your name?

2.) What is your quest?

3.) What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

 

(Optional number three substitute: What is the capital of Assyria?)
