What is barbed wire? Basically it is twisted wire with sharp "barbs" twisted on them with the intent to inflict pain on anyone who wishes to get involved with them. Why did I choose "Barbed Wire" to name this site? Well as I was pondering the meaning of life and how we get into twisted stressfull situations.....actually it was just the first random words that came to my head. Sorry no real meaning.

Basically barbed wire was invented in 1868 by Michael Kelly to prevent his cattle to stop breaking his fences and getting out.
