    What is the connection between a church choir and a small weapon?

    Question #62289. Asked by Baloo55th. (Feb 05 06 1:56 PM)

    		Maybe they are singing a selection of Beatle records like Revolver

    		In choir-stalls you may find misericords, i.e. ledges on the underside of the turn-up seats, against which choristers can lean and get some support while standing. They are often decorated with grotesque or amusing carvings.

    A misericord can also be a small dagger – so called because after a medieval warrior had run an opponent through with a sword, he could show “misericordia” (pity or mercy) by using the dagger to finish the man off.

    		While I like SOTHC and Josh's suggestions, It's TabbyTom that gets the Yay this time. Interesting thought - if you didn't like the singing of someone in the choir, you could combine the two meanings....
