#1 Odd, I don't remember "Samurai Bishop" from SNL. Tailor, yes. Delicatessen, yes. Hotel, yes.

#4 A fourth-degree black belt in the Kishindo form of martial arts, Hendrix owns a collection of swords and weapons that he trains with, said his wife, Suzanne Hendrix. He has trained with the sword he used Tuesday for 20 years and keeps it by his bed.

"Some people have bats they go to," said Hendrix. "I have my sword."

#10 There is an Urban Legend among members of the Society for Creative Anachronism (How to recreate the Middle Ages without plagues, malnutrition, and outdoor plumbing). It's the story of Rodney the Rusty, and it goes like this:

In the 1970s, Rodney once used a patch of his chain mail to help scour a kettle once. In doing so, he wore the galvanizing off the metal rings and thereby earned himself the sobriquet of Rusty. He was leaving a dinner in Chicago, in costume, wearing a cloak and carrying a costume sword under it. A mugger jumped out at him and threatened him, saying, "Want six inches of steel in your ribs?" Rodney threw back his cloak, drew his sword, and shouted, "See your six and raise you thirty!"
