Having seen all the interesting comment that came in on the Barbara Allen thread, I figured this question would be a good one to toss out there too...

John Henry could have just hammered faster than the steam drill for a minute or two, but quit before dying. He could have accepted the fact that a brainless machine can go all day and a man can't, but he didn't. Whaddya think about that?

Go to it.
