Actually, bronze swords were superior to iron and held their edges as well as mild steel. But iron was immensely cheaper than bronze.

[lbryce]

As well as their wits. ;-)

Think the Hittites would probably debate that to some extent.
They didn't do to bad with primitive iron weapons.

Lol.

Taking some time off from running the Rockne Newell Legal Defense Fund to do some threadstalking? You’re a renaissance man.

[count-your-change]

Whoa Ho! This definitely overcomes that whole alien space craft scrap metal and cosmic angst of man alone paradigm, doesn’t it?

[colorado tanker]

Nah. This obviously was scrap metal from an alien spaceship. See post 17.

[Bigg Red]

Good one.

That show has some great tunes.

Yeah, they don’t write them like that anymore, sigh.

After reading your comment having posted twice, my curiosity has gotten the better of me in being piqued by what it all means.

Would you please kindly elucidate your comment and the follow-up response received in reply. Thank you very much for any courtesy, consideration provided on my behalf.

[Stentor]

A hint.

[lbryce]

Thank you for responding to my request.

Okay. It's lyrics to the "Guys and Dolls" movie musical starring Frank Sinatra,
Marlon Brando among many others.

So, how does the reference to the Guys & Dolls lyrics relate to this thread?

[PeaceBeWithYou]

It is Allusion.

Meteorites - Falling stars

[Beowulf9]

I found it amusing that an ancient civilization used meteorites, and considered them valuable, to make jewelry for women.

The same way men today put valuable jewels and rocks to the use of adorning a women to gain her favor.
