will keep it in mind next time i'm hanging at the ford or prowling enemy camps 
at night.  one of the big pluses in the armour regs, they require a secure 
chinstrap in the helms ... tends to keep the head in place when you cleave the 
neck ... and you get a two-fer - helm & head in one easy to carry package

for those interested in the basis of the celtic headhunting banter may i 
recommend the following:

Fire In The Head: Shamanism and the Celtic Spirit

ISBN:	0-06-250174-7

a good primer on the reasons for celtic headhunting, and a nice section on some 
of the earlier (and darker) arthurian threads .. a perfect book for the season
