Robin Hood; prince of thieves, guardian of Sherwood forest, outlaw, scourge of the sheriff of Nottingham, seriously brain damaged?
It’s a question worth asking. The typical day for Robin Hood, if stories are to be believed, was compromised of Robin Hood wandering around Sherwood forest until he happened upon some stranger, whom he would summarily challenge to a game wherein the contestants would beat each other over the head with large clubs until one of the contestants got knocked out or couldn’t get up.
I’m no medical expert, but I think that if you get whacked on the head that much it could cause brain damage.
Probably pretty serious brain damage. Pretty impressive that with all that brain damage he’s still able to coolly outsmart the Sheriff of Nottingham on almost a daily basis, sing songs, disrupt weddings and do all of the things that Robin Hood does.
Just think of what he could have accomplished without all that brain damage.

I don’t like you
But you enriich my life
Fair enough.
I thought it was all archery and tights.
And brain damage. Good things come in threes.
It hurts my brain to even think about it!
It hurts my brain to even think!
I suppose we are now all without excuse? I mean, look what Robin Hood was able to accomplish in spite of all the traumatic brain injury.
Right?
No one in their right mind would run around in bright green tights. That’s all I’m going to say.
Good point.
Maybe he wore a helmet?
Would make for a great NFL player, it seems.
He would be great in the NFL.
I would’ve thought it was the tights that caused the brain damage. At least in my experience.
Definitely a possibility.
