I'm begging, pleeaaaseee end the strike, so we can get back to rumors about free agent trades.  I'll forego the mysogenistic (sp?) comment about what was swallowed, or not as it may be.

It is a question from Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail.

Yes, if you don't know what this is all about you most definately have missed something. I suggest you go buy/rent/download Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Keep in mind that not everyone loves Monty Python. Most people either love it or hate it, there's not a whole lot of in between. But that's why everyone should at least watch once, to find out if you love it or hate it.
