Sounds like a documentary thing I was watching about the ocean and they were talking about King Canute sticking his sword in the sand and commanding the tide not to come in, etc., and I looked at the screen and said "That is NOT a Viking sword, that's a 1909 Argentine Mauser bayonet!" And then I listened to myself and said "I've been reading too many weapons catalogues, haven't I?" (Although that particular bayonet is one hell of a nice short sword, and I covet it.)
