Offensive, or defensive?  Nun-chucks were originally intended to
seperate grain from chaff.  Now they are in the ninja movies,
where all the ninjas politely engage the hero one at a time,
instead of all at once and beating him senseles in under s
minute.  Perhaps the hero is protected by a single mutex, and
the ninjas are afraid of overwriting each other's writes to his
"hit point" countering after decrementing it... 8-).

In any case, if I were a fisherman, being attacked by soldiers
from the sea, and all I had was my fishing pole, I would likely
leave some nasty welts before they got me.  8-) 8-).
