An ancient French sword has mysteriously vanished after 1,300 years wedged inside a rock 32ft off the ground.
The Durandal, which is France’s version of King Arthur’s legendary Excalibur, was reported missing from the clifftop village of Rocamadour on Monday.
It belonged to Roland, a famous knight in French literature who was said to own the ‘indestructible’ sword, which had become an iconic part of the area.

Let’s hope it’s not “just call me Harry!”
Prince William will be a good king!

Oops, looks like he got here ahead of me!
Joe Biden removed it with one hand .
He is a fierce warrior and will defend his honor with it.

I laugh, but it’s true. This is why I strive to be honest, not lie, steal or do things like this. I am always conscious of how this contributes to the ruinations of the world.
I wish others would see this.
I hope whoever did this comes to regret it and gives it back. Every now and then you hear of that sort of thing but I’m not that hopeful of it either.

It would be a toss up as to whether it’s better to get a sword from a chick in the water or pull it out of a rock.
Indeed. Until a few months ago, my tagline for over a decade was Dennis' line:
Listen, strange women lying in ponds, distributin’ swords is no system for a system of government.I switched to the current tagline to be more topical. But this also is relevant, which is on my FR profile page:
“I mean, if I went ‘round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!”
</FUNNY!>
