Where's Monty Python?

So what, I have George Washington’s hatchet.

The head has been replaced 7 times and the handle 12 times but it’s still his hatchet.

Bammy's been reaching for the HG.

Now, he has no chance?

GREAT!

Margarita Torres, a medieval history lecturer at León University and Jose Ortiza del Rio, an art historian, penned a new book claiming that years of research has led them to conclude that Christ’s chalice is somehow inside a medieval goblet that has been on display in Spain for 1,000 years, Daily Mail reported. Residing inside the Basilica of San Isidoro, a church in Spain that is located on the site of an ancient Roman temple, the goblet — known as the Infanta Dona Urraca — belonged to Queen Urraca, who died in A.D. 1126.

You mind if I call a buddy of mine to take a look at it?

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Not interested. Already got one, you see.....

....and if it turned up in the White House...Obama would send it back.

They might have found the cup used for the last supper but they still haven’t found the cup used in the first breakfast.

The true Holy Grail is the Sancta Caliz, brought to Spain by St. Lawrence in the early 4th century. And yes, it is a simple bowl-shaped vessel made of agate (semi-precious stone, something a middle-class family would cherish as a hand-me-down, but hardly extravagant). The adornments, including a jeweled, golden stem, were later additions. Although it fell into the hands of Muslims for a few centuries, it was never lost. The legend of it magically granting eternal life was an Islamic misunderstanding of the halo that appeared around it in ancient French paintings (where “graal” means “chalice”), and Catholic doctrine about the resurrection. (Halos in Islam signify magical charms.)

ARTHUR: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land,
through the kingdom of Mercea, through—
SOLDIER #1: Where’d you get the coconuts?
ARTHUR: We found them.
SOLDIER #1: Found them? In Mercea? The coconut’s tropical!
ARTHUR: What do you mean?
SOLDIER #1: Well, this is a temperate zone.
ARTHUR: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the
plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to
our land?
SOLDIER #1: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
ARTHUR: Not at all. They could be carried.
SOLDIER #1: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
ARTHUR: It could grip it by the husk!
SOLDIER #1: It’s not a question of where he grips it! It’s a simple question
of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
ARTHUR: Well, it doesn’t matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur
from the Court of Camelot is here.
SOLDIER #1: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs
to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
ARTHUR: Please!
SOLDIER #1: Am I right?
ARTHUR: I’m not interested!
SOLDIER #2: It could be carried by an African swallow!
SOLDIER #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow.
That’s my point.
SOLDIER #2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that.
ARTHUR: Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?!
SOLDIER #1: But then of course a— African swallows are non-migratory.
SOLDIER #2: Oh, yeah...
SOLDIER #1: So they couldn’t bring a coconut back anyway...
[clop clop clop]
SOLDIER #2: Wait a minute! Supposing two swallows carried it together?
SOLDIER #1: No, they’d have to have it on a line.
SOLDIER #2: Well, simple! They’d just use a strand of creeper!
SOLDIER #1: What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers?
SOLDIER #2: Well, why not?

Did they find it on Bigfoot’s table in the UFO?

[Berosus]

This isn’t news to me. A few years ago David Rohl, an archaeologist and songwriter, revived Mandalaband, the progressive rock band he had with his college buddies back in the 1970s. In 2011 they produced their fourth album, “A.D.: Sangreal,” which promotes the theory that the Holy Grail is in Spain. I’m guessing they’re talking about the same grail as the one here.

“Oh yes, it’s a very nice!”

Everyone knows that the French already have it.

or do they .......

[JSDude1]

Anyone tried drinking from this yet (or are they afraid of turning into dust)?

Just kidding.

I did watch The Last Crusade a few days ago though..

If this still exists it would be an interesting artifact, but Jesus, Himself is our Living Water, we don’t need a medieval fantasy.

poppiecock and balderdash

they cant prove this.

[DH]

I guess their find of the holy grail is just one more of the thousands who claimed the same feat in the past.

Notice: They have not actually found the grail, only think they know where it is......just like the thousands before them.
