[edit] Video game cruft

[2] I made this edit, noticing a spam link replacing in the external section. In reverting, I also removed a series of recent edits listing a bunch of video games using whips as a weapon. That information should belong in an article about video games, but not whips. SchmuckyTheCat 05:13, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Videogames and death

If it mentions TV characters why wouldn't it mention videogames and literature? It's part of the culture aroud whips and Wiktionary is about definitions themselves but Wikipedia is more about the cultural "encycolpedic" stuff... Or am I wrong? Anyway... I recalled that somewhere in this article or a related article it was pointed out how many hits of a whip are enough to kill someone... I wanted to quote that in an argument in a forum on AD&D about the system making common humans to weak against weak weapons (such as whips which are more for damage and pain than for death)but now I can no longer find it... I thought it had been edited off... If anyone knows what happened... Please, add that info back...

Actually, whips can be made both for pain and for actual combat. A properly made whip can sever the human spine, if used by a skilled wielder. Zuiram 01:51, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
There shouldn't be any video game references in this article. This isn't an encyclopedia just for nerds, and final fantasy and dragon quest are totally irrelevant. imsoclever [t] 15:01, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] removed request for expansion

I removed the request for expansion, this article is already at least long enough.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 04:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing information

Could anyone please describe the physical principle on which whips' function is based?--Nemissimo II 18:34, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sonic boom

A quick google search [3] reveals several sources confirming that the crack is in fact caused by a sonic boom. --George100 04:35, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
