Badass Psalms

Someone else created a collection of 'badass' stories from the Hebrew bible.  It is at http://www.cracked.com/article_15699_9-most-badass-bible-verses.html.

The list is pretty good, except it misses out on the story of Yael driving a tent pole through the enemy king Sisera's forehead after he feel asleep.  That's a gem!

I spotted another line in Psalms this morning and, while it is not from the Talmud, thought it worthy of mention here.  Full disclosure:  I've been having some conflicts at work, now happily resolved, and this verse might have resonated more because of the conflicts.

Psalm 58:7-11:  "O G-d, smash their teeth in their mouth; shatter the fangs of lions, o L-Rd.  Let them melt, let them vanish like water.  Let Him aim His arrows that they be cut down, like a snail that melts away as it moves.  Like a woman's stillbirth, may they never see the sun!  Before the thorns grow into a bramble, may He whirl them away alive in fury.   The righteous man will rejoice when he sees revenge; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.  (JPS translation).
