The strongest spear has branches and a foundation - hillbilleter - 05-18-2010
The strongest spear, the one used to stop and kill utter, unfiltered, otherwise unstoppable, instinctive rage on legs is a long boar spear that uses the earth as its base and has branches in the form of crossbars. The branches are a part of the spear and are what makes it the most effective weapon in stopping the murderous, red-eyed violence of a charging boar, the scariest thing on legs.
Without its branches and its reliance upon the earth for leverage, a spear is just a big toothpick. Maybe that's why the Ally hasn't crushed the Otherness in all the universes. Too many toothpicks and not enough branches.
