How come there are never any stories about all the Irish Samurai? Or the Danish Pharaohs? I heard that the Roman empire was so great was because of the influence of Japanese martial arts...and of course alien technology
No Irish... that's simple. Quick story for you...
The Irish clans were getting ready to invade England & then mainland Europe. They knew nobody stood a chance. It was a easy shoe in for the Celts.
So as the final meeting of the chiefs was winding down, the recently Christianized Irish knelt for prayer, the friar asked... "Are there any more questions?"
From the back, Seamus asked... "Yeh fadder... wut du wee du abut fuud?" and to that the friar replied "We live off what we conquer". Everybody agreed that was a good plan
Again from the back, this time from Conall... "Yeh fadder... wut abut ore familees?" and to that the friar thought & replied "Bring them with. We'll need the extra help with the slaves we take & keeping the family together". Everybody also agreed that the friar knew his business.
The final question was posed from Emer said, quite serious in his thought & question... "Fadder... wut abut the beeer? Do dey ha' beeer we kin taek fir ore oewn?" and the friar thought quiet for a minute with a very puzzled look on his face and said "My son, I don't know if the heathens have beer..." Emer & the other chiefs all stood up to walk out almost immediately & the friar said "Where're going? We leave in the morning on the tide" and to that Emer, straight faced said "Fook it... eeef dey don't ha'beeer, we ain't going!!!"
So there's the answer as to why no Irish Samurai...
