Glove Slappers Unite
If I was in Victorian times and somebody challenged me to a duel (because I'd put bull ants in his wig, say) and asked me to choose between swords and pistols, I'd choose pistols that fired swords because, you know, it would buy me some time while we waited for somebody to invent such a weapon. If he then challenged me to some other form of competition - eg a race around Oxford - I would give him a headstart and then jump on my quantum hydro-scooter and zoom past him, laughing manically, because I forgot to mention that I'm a time traveller from the future.
