Funniest most embarrassing event?

I went out on a blind date and with the rudest guy ever. I couldn't wait for it to end, so I could go home. Finally he drove me home and I got out of the car, leaned into his open window and told him off. I turned around and hit my head smack into the telephone pole that he had parked in front of and nearly knocked myself out. All I saw were stars and heard the sound of him laughing as he drove away. True story!

Where did warriors keep their arrows while fighting?

Arrows were normally kept in quivers in earlier times, then more commonly in pouches later on. These quivers and pouches were either strapped to a horse's saddle, hung from the belt, or slung across the back (as depicted in various films). Sometimes the arrows were simply stuck into the ground in front of the archer before use; the archer pulled one out of the ground, nocked it and fired. When he needed to fight hand-to-hand, he simply put down his bow and drew a sword or axe.

Was satin a hero or a villain in the book Beowulf?

Satin wasn't even really IN Beowulf. Unless you are referring to Grendel who is (kind of) tied to Satin. Grendel is a descendant of Cain who did the bidding of Satin by killing his brother Able aursing his family for generations. So by that way of thinking, Grendel is the villian. And no matter WHAT story you are reading, Satin will ALWAYS be the villian, too.

Is Beowulf more barbaric than the Song of Roland?

First, it depends on what you mean by Barbaric. Beowulf takes place in a Germanic society in the fifth century, which post the fall of Rome was defined by its Warrior culture. Its important to also take note though that most of the battles in Beowulf are not against other humans, but against monsters like Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon. Identity in Beowulf is determined by one's list of heroic deeds, who and how many people they have killed. But in Roland's time, identity is determined by feudalism, and who one is a vassal to, seemingly much less Barbaric. In the Song of Roland, the violence is religiously motivated and takes place between people because of their different beliefs. The battles between the Christians and Muslims in Roland amass many more deaths. While Beowulf takes place in a Barbaric society, Roland, in my opinion is much more Barbaric.
