People are cracking up after someone realized Home Depot is selling replicas of Mel Gibson's sword from "Braveheart".
It's supposed to be decorative. But it's a legit sword that looks just like the one from the movie. It's modeled after William Wallace's sword. The real one's a lot bigger . . . 64 inches, or just over five feet. This one is 40 inches.
Don't expect to walk into Home Depot and see a whole rack of medieval weapons though. It's something they're only offering online.
HomeDepot.com actually sells lots of random stuff now. You can also get battle axes. . . snorkeling gear . . . or a 64-ounce bottle of coyote urine.
The "Braveheart" sword normally retails for $58, but is on-sale now for $49.98, if it's not already sold-out.
The Q&A section is the best part. Here are some of the questions people have been asking . . .
1. "Is this sword suitable for overthrowing an oppressive English monarchy?"
2. "I have a large fire-breathing dragon in my yard that I need to slay. Will this work, or should I hire an exterminator?"
3. "Is this [also] effective in slaying vampires?"
4. "Is this sword sharp and sturdy enough to carry into battle? Or is it just suitable for a bit of light pillaging?"
5. "Is knighthood included, or does it cost extra?"
6. "Is this TSA approved?"
7. "If I hold this above my head and say "By the power of Grayskull," [will] I finally become Master of the Universe? Asking for a friend."
The company that makes the sword actually responded to that last one and said no, it's not intended for He-Man stuff.
