Just forget about this ''staff''. Who would want to walk around with a staff?! Not me.

These were his (Jesus's) instructions: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff... Mark 6:8

I wonder if ''Luke'' and ''Mark'' ever came in contact with each other. They would've had some argument!

Fair enough. Perhaps ‘Luke’ was a younger man than ‘Mark’

Now that's a very good point, another way of looking at it is mybe Mark genuflected more than Luke, that definitely wears the knee joint down and quite embarrassing when you can't get up off the floor, a 'Staff' would be a Godsend in those circumstances

Sky,

Exactly…..that is the value of that different translation. It allows you to see a deeper meaning. If we were dedicated interpreters of the Bible we should be able to see those things…..without the help of others.

Same opinion here and not just an opinion but based on direct experience.

They disagreed on how many men were in the tomb also, one or two?

While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. Luke 24:4

And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. Mark 16:5
