okay, my last OT post for this conversation, but, just had to posit this stuff:
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorpal Wikipedia!
"He took his vorpal sword in hand" and "One, two! One, two! And through and through / The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! / He left it dead, and with its head / He went galumphing back." Vorpal is commonly assumed to mean "deadly" or "extremely sharp", derived from the words "voracious" (hungry) and "corporal" (Latin, relating to corpus - the body) meaning hungry for flesh, or perhaps to imply that the blade has magical properties. Many role-playing games have taken the latter interpretation and, since the hero brings the dead Jabberwock's head home in triumph, have used "vorpal" to identify weapons with a magically enhanced ability to behead enemies. It is also occasionally interpreted as meaning the blade is warped=-
