I've just always found that to be an odd word-I'm not picking on you, Dean. Just a funny little thing of mine.
I just thought it was a good word to use in this case. I even looked it up to make sure I spelled it right. Probally not proper grammar though. unscathed - definition of unscathed by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
