I'm puzzled about those queensland sword clubs (#12). They are so big, but I'm trying to figure out how a warrior would wield one. I calculated out the weight of one, and it was in the range of 1.6 kg (3.5 lb). Swords are usually in the 2-3 pound range. Trying to imagine swinging that big a board around by a tiny little handle is somewhere between awe-inspiring and nuts.
