Origin

[edit]

Origin of this expression? I assume it has some biblical significance? Drutt (talk) 08:40, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You make a good point, I also feel the article could do with a look at the origins of the term. If I am not mistaken, the term goes back to the 16th century...I think a writer by the name of Sam Zimmerman may have coined it in 1572. He wrote a book about unorthodox weapons, mostly types of gunpowder weapons (for example exploding chests, time-bombs, etc). Inchiquin (talk) 22:23, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
