You should do that anyway. I was privileged to see BB King on his final major world tour, when he was double-heading with John Mayall. He walks out slowly, and two guys haul out this huge throne for him to sit on. He says, "I know what you're thinking - ol' BB can't stand up and play no more. Well, that's about the truth. But I can still play." He then ran so long that he had to cut The Thrill Is Gone short after they told him it was kick-out time. He was just shy of 84 years old.

He was still touring at 89, I got to see him play in 2014, though the band just kind played along as he shambled through his hits

It's interesting to see how elephants move quickly, it's more of a quick amble than a run- you just can't scale a normal gallop up to that mass without breaking something.

I remember visiting relatives in Northern Maine and they insisted that we go and see a local "world famous" chainsaw sculptor. We get to the guy's place and he's out there sawing away on a log. He was doing impressive stuff considering he was in his late 70s and had a total of about 4½ fingers.

They somehow burn every one I've gotten. Also the taste of the dough is just off, maybe it's the sulfur in the water that does it.

I would guess no, and I'd also wager that it's not as heavy as a real sword, and probably balanced differently with that large counterweight on the handle.

Which is not to take away from how cool that is.

Real swords are generally only 1-5 lbs.
