About that CSI: Miami episode? What was the season and episode name of CSI MIAMI, a divorce judge was murdered by two boys, one in a relationship with the judge's daughter who stripped naked to avoid blood splashing their clothes when they shot him. Their plan succeeded but didn't work out as well as they wished... should've tested their gun first?

"and the Picts upped the ante by painting themselves blue"
Not sure how to reword this, but as far as I can tell, it's southern Britons who are supposed to have used woad, not Picts. Also, charging into battle naked was classically associated with Gauls, not all Celts, and even then I believe it was a minority of Gauls.

I'm having a very difficult time substantiating the claims in this entry. I'm gonna make it invisible in the meanwhile.

I feel like Bravely Default is referencing this. Barras Lehr, the monk character, has a penchant for "frontal assault". He even says: "There are only two tactics a real warrior needs! Frontal assault, and death by frontal assault!". Combine this with the numerous tongue-in-cheek puns and plain innuendos he and his partner Holly Whyte share. Even more, the last skill from the monk class, obtained by beating him, is "Natural Talent", which doubles attack if the user wears nothing. Worth a mention, right?

Not super likely... if he said "full frontal" that'd be something, but "frontal assault" is a phrase that solely has combat meanings and nothing to do with nudity. It's only "full frontal" that has connotations of nudity, due to the phrase "full frontal nudity."

The woad plant (Isatis tinctoria) has absolutely no psychoactive properties. It is considered safe according to contemporary technical EU safety norms for dyes, as it is still used in some parts of Germany. Maybe author of the note mistook the woad for indigo that was deemed poisonous by the some European governments that tried to suppress the introduction of foreign product (Indigo is imported from Asia) and thus protect their share of the dye market.

Aye. Feel free to remove that bullet point.

Can we uses Mistress Centipede as the trope picture?

Provide a SFW link and take that to the Image Pickin' forum.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
Thing is, the Lucy pic doesn't make it abundantly clear that there's actually a fight going on.
Man, I have to say, I really like the current pic. It's just... wonderful.

I guess the trope name refers to showing your full bare front as you fight, right?
