"Listen, lad. I've built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. The king said I was daft to build a castle in a swamp, but I built it all the same -- just to show 'em! It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one! That sank into the swamp. So I built a third one! That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one...stayed up!"
-- Michael Palin, "Monty Python & The Holy Grail"
