I really liked /u/talondearg's response to "Why does the King James Bible mention unicorns? And why are they evil or threatening?", touching on the vagaries of translation.

I also have to take my hat off to /u/hillsonghoods' absolutely kickass response in this thread: "Ted Kaczynski was, unbeknownst to him, subject of an abusive psychological experiment as an undergrad at Harvard, possibly as part of a joint program with the US government. Was this before ethical considerations were at the forefront of psychology? Were any precautions taken?"

I had three posts I really liked this week:

/u/Grad_Phi's post in Theory Thursday on the subject of bow strings was a good read, and a great example of someone going away, doing some research, and coming back later with more information, which is one of the best things about Askhistorians.

My love for Samurai movies meant I was really interested in /u/NientedeNada's answer to In Kurosawa's film "Yojimbo", the main character often keeps his arms inside his kimono instead of in the sleeves. Was this a common behavior in 19th century Japan?

Lastly, but by no means leastly, /u/Lewed_Losel had a great answer to What sort of humour was popular in the late Middle Ages?

/u/legalaction on Were Romans actually once Trojans or is that a myth?

/u/xenophontheathenian answered "Why exactly did the Marian reforms of the Roman military cause the loyalties of the soldiers to shift to their generals?"

/u/akasazh on "WWII is one of the most popular topics on r/askhistorians, what was the hottest topic in 1900 for historians to talk about?"
