    See how many you can recognize



    I recognized a lot.

    40+. Some of the comic book ones I didn't know, but all the game or movie ones I did. Though I wouldn't have put Green Latern's ring as #1. Top 5 for sure, but not #1. I'm suprised the Infinity Gauntlent didn't make it on the list.

      I'm pleased to say that the answer is very round.

      Zero!

      OK, to be fair, I've heard of lightsabres and have seen pictures of them, but I have never seen any part of Star Wars so wouldn't know anything about them. Science fiction really does leave me freezing cold, whether it be in printed or visual form. There's more than enough fiction, masquerading as science, in the media, including many of the popular so-called scientific magazines.

        So Brian...what about spamming you with a list of Sci-Fi movies that are actually good? ;P

        Or even TV-series...Battlestar Gallactica (the new one) would probably lead this pack (Newtonian physics of spaceflight, ordinary projectile weapons and nukes! )

              Are you telling me you didn't recognize Excalibur in that list? There is sci-fi/fantasy and there is just being part of the human race, or is this one of those things that if you aren't in a culture that has roots in Anglo-saxon it's not told as a story since your .5 years?

              Oh and I probably knew about 40 of the list
              Wikipedia and Google.... the needles to my tangent habit.

                  40 here.

                  Brian; you didn't know Mjolnir (Thors hammer) or Excalibur (King Arthurs sword)? Didn't you guys study mythology at all?

                  Jezzz.....we were officially exposed them in the 3rd grade, but most of us had read about them in our early readers.

                      Discounting the ones I've only heard or seen passing references to without knowing the context: 25. Otherwise 30.

                      Another one I like that you don't hear about much is the Glaive from the movie Krull. I guess Krull just wasn't a big enough movie for inclusion.

                          OOOPS! Sorry, I did miss out on Excalibur! Yes, of course, I do know about that one. As for Thor's hammer, it's a vague memory, but certainly not its name; we never did much on Norse mythology, other than the origin of the names of the days of the week.

                          Does this count?

                          The thunder god went for a ride
                          Upon his favourite filly.
                          "I'm Thor!" he cried.
                          The horse replied, "Forgot your thaddle, thilly!"

                              (yes Gurm, I know that's not the actual hammer)
