english Ex Member	Re: Yo-yo Reply #6 - Mar 12^th, 2005 at 9:13am I saw a so-called "battle yoyo" on a website. It was basically a yoyo with spikes. It was dropped from the top of a tree or other height. It came back fairly slowly if you missed, and didn't come back of it's own accord if you hit.

english Ex Member	Re: Yo-yo Reply #8 - Mar 12^th, 2005 at 11:56am Well, if you threw it hard out of a tree, with spinning wooden spikes flailing around, then I think you could easily kill someone.

Those spikes if dropped at height would easily find their way into eyesockets and other nasty places, but if you just put something heavy on a regular yo-yo and do that stupid launch forward thingy, you can probably do someone abit of damage. You'd look hilarious though.

Hellfire Ex Member	Re: Yo-yo Reply #11 - Mar 12^th, 2005 at 9:52pm I think it is a better idea to make a yoyo out of basalt, or rose quartz because it is very heavy and hard and it will likely crack your skull. spikes might not be a good idea... if it comes back and skewers your hand

english Ex Member	Re: Yo-yo Reply #12 - Mar 13^th, 2005 at 5:52am Yeah, in a bar brawl I'd definitely hesitate to take out a yoyo. A granite/basalt/quartz/whatever else yoyo would just not work, I think.

a little history of the yo-yo http://www.spintastics.com/HistoryOfYoYo.asp

The yo-yo is one of the oldest toys. Yo-yo's have been used as a toy for over 2,500 years, when the ancient Romans played with wooden and metal yo-yo's. The word "yo-yo" may come from Tagalog language (the language of the Philippines), meaning "to come back."

so it could be that some roman kid had a sling and a yo-yo in his pouch
