DeborahK: Welcome to ChaCha!
You: lo lo
DeborahK: Hi there!
You: how are you?
DeborahK: I'm great, thanks. And you? One moment while I see what information I can find on your inquiry.
You: not bad here thanks...
You: having a debate with someone as to whether a katana can cut someone in 2 vertically with one chop
You: bit odd really
DeborahK: Sounds like an interesting debate.
You: you better belive it!
DeborahK: Hopefully I'll be able to help you decide who wins!
You: there is a cup of tea at stake
You: do you think it can be done?
DeborahK: I wouldn't think so, but I don't know much about swords.
You: why not? too much bone?
DeborahK: While I continue to search for an answer, check out the wikipedia site I just sent you and see if the information you're looking for is there.
You: k
DeborahK: That's what I would think.
DeborahK: It would probably take a couple of cuts, anyway.
You: have you read that page you found?
You: sounds like it might
You: from shoulder down
You: \o/
You: \o /
DeborahK: I didn't have time to read the whole thing, but I'm glancing over another one now, and I think you might be right!
You: what about the head, would that be possible as well?
DeborahK: I don't see anything that mentions the head, except to cut it off, not cut down through it.
DeborahK: This is actually quite a gross debate to be having. lol
You: maybe an upward strike, balls up .
You: ouchey
You: lol
DeborahK: Oww!
You: you could be settling a very large debate here...
DeborahK: According to that last link I sent you, a person can be cut in half horizontally with a Katana.
DeborahK: Nothing though about cutting vertically.
You: yeah, you can do horiz with a bread knife! but vert is the question...!
DeborahK: There seems to be a lot of debate on the subject.
You: see, not that silly afterall

DeborahK: That's being debated in the last link I sent you. Seems to be an ongoing debate.
DeborahK: Is there anything else I can find for you on this subject?
You: I guess no-one has tried it yet
DeborahK: That's probably a good thing
You: lol
You: ok, you were awesome, thanks

DeborahK: You're welcome!
DeborahK: Have a great day!
You: have a top day x
DeborahK: Please RATE ME. Thanks for using ChaCha.
