Ornamental Weaponry

Something like these but way more beautiful ... is 'deadly'


And my adventure with Thailand never stopped even as my plane touched down back here in Singapore, the city state of Uptights.

Bought for 1700 Bhat *after the mandatory bargaining , I bought an elaborate and stunning looking knuckle Duster attached with 4-pronged high tenstile steel claws/blades, mounted on a stand.
(similar to the first pic above, but 4-prong bladed like legs to a table and mounted upright)


A gorgeous piece of structural art bordering on macabre.


Well, was caught (Damn, technology these days!) and I swear I never intended it as weapon.
It's just really beautiful see what I mean? Like a metallic spider.

A weapon is one with intention, no?

A pen or even a chair can be a weapon in the right hands.



But me?! C'mon, if I was the murderous type I'd have cut my irritating travel buddy days ago. Haha.

A big hoo hah ensued by the security ('I'm just doing my job,' claimed the lame officer. Whateverrrr.). The police were called. Interrogation and statements taken. And no, I wasn't frogged-marched.

Embarassed ? A little. Taken A back? Hell yeah. Guilty? Hell to the NO.



'Investigations pending. '



PHUK it.Indeed.

Q... I really wished I hadn't bought it but should have taken shots of it before its confiscation.
SUX.
