[Groop] The Big Fight at the National in NYC

[Ryan Simmons]

I thought the word "amok" came from the crusade wars.  I read once that
occasionally a muslim warrior would charge the christian armies alone and
just beserk out trying to kill everyone he could before he was inevitably
killed.  "Running amok".  Maybe I read an innacurate history of the term.
