Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) IMDB rating: 8.50 Plot: The movie starts out with Arthur, King of the Britons, looking for knights to sit with him at Camelot. He finds many knights including Sir Galahad the pure, Sir Lancelot the brave, the quiet Sir Bedevere, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot. They do not travel on horses, but pretend they do and have their servants bang coconuts to make the sound of horse’s hooves. Through satire of certain events in history (witch trials, the black plague) they find Camelot, but after literally a quick song and dance they decide that they do not want to go there. While walking away, God (who seems to be grumpy) come to them from a cloud and tells them to find the Holy Grail. They agree and begin their search…

movies set in Europe 800-1800?
I’m taking European History and one of the assignments later in the semester is to write a paper about a movie set in Europe from 800-1800. The teacher gave us a list of recommendations, but I was wondering if there are any besides these? I haven’t seen any of these, so if one of the movies listed is really good and I should choose that one, say that.

Beowulf
The 13th Warrior
In the Name of the Rose
Kingdom of Heaven
Braveheart
Alexander Nevsky
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
1492
Shakespeare in Love
Elizabeth
The Agony and the Ecstasy
The Last Valley
The Madness of King George
Amadeus
Marie Antoinette

Boot Camp (Slipstreamed CD): Insert your Windows installer disc?
Hi there, im having problems with boot camp. Ive made a slipstreamed cd from a genuine windows xp sp1 dc and i slipstreamed it and made it a bootable ISO and burned it on a blank DVD.

Bootcamp probably doesn’t recognize the slipstreamed disk as a real Windows installer. However, it doesn’t matter now- the Bootcamp Utility has done all of its work. You can do the rest of the install on your own. Restart your Mac and hold down option as it starts up (while your still at the gray screen). It should show you 3 options to boot- Macintosh HD, BOOTCAMP (both with a hard drive above them), and your XP DVD with a picture of a disk above it). Choose to boot off of the disk and the installer should run. Make sure you choose the last (3rd) partition when you install XP. After it’s installed, use your Mac OS X install DVD to get the drivers and the Windows Boot Camp utility.

LOL well lets he most likely be my age the legend about him being a baby is just a rumor. If he was still just a baby why would he married a wonderful women like Psyche at a young age.. yes he does mean it when people fall in love but he normally want soul mates to be together rather them seeing the wrong person he isn’t a bad guy after all. He used a bow and arrow which he normally good at. he normally aim for the heart because that where love is found. love is found in the heart. it one of the reasons why the heart is a symbol for love and passion. in the old stories he once fire a love arrow at Apollo for making fun of his archery skills. Apollo soon fell in love with the first girl he saw. that how it normally work it one they mean "Love by first sight." normally Cupid’s arrows only allow people fall in love with the first person they see. So it could be anybody. But Cupid isn’t a bad guy at all. he normally just want more love in the world that all.

he’s the son of venus, usually depicted as a winged baby with arrows and a bow. he’s also known as "amor", love.
his arrows awaken love within the people they hit.

there are many tales of how people fell in love with the wrong people … a good example for it is in shakespeare’s midsumernightsdream

Can we increase lifespan and youth for your young generation, or will it stay same/decrease?
I’m 26, will my generation by the time we’re in our 60s be younger, stronger, and healthier than the previous generation before us, or will it stay the same relatively, or will it actually get worse and we’ll be getting older sooner and dying younger?

It’s a double edged dagger. On one side we have increasing technology, increasing medicine and knowledge, better supplements and nutrients than ever before, more awareness and understanding of illness, but on the other hand we have obesity, more food than ever, rising pollution, increasing population, new resistant and more powerful illnesses coming out, among other things.

Can we make 50 the new 30 eventually, or is that something that definitely won’t happen in our lifetime?
How long do you think the average person considering we don’t get murdered, commit suicide, die from a drug overdose, get cancer, live to nowadays? 70-80?

Also once we’re 60+ will we just expect to be sick cripples or what?

By that age, I guess it’s safe to say, that we cannot drive like maniacs or get into arguments and raise our blood pressure anymore can we?

---

My hypothesis is that average lifespan will decrease. stress, lack of sleep, and misunderstandings of nutrirtion all lead to cardiovascualr disease, poorer immune systems, obesity, etc.

I think before we begin to improve, people need to know how to take care of themselves better. Although one may think a ton of stress means their working hard and are a contributing member of society, too much stress actually begins to deteriorate the human body, especially with the heart. It can even permanently damage the mind. Sleep is also critical. In our society, almost everyone does not get enough sleep. This kills brain cells along with destroys the immune system and promotes eating problems.

Fifty can be the new thirty, but government, business, and the people need to promote a healtheir lifestyle than the high stress demanding life style of today.

I also beleive hydrogenated fats and artificial sweetener desparetley need to be outlawed. Food companies go out of their way to promote something as healthy when in fact it is not.

So many questions. I belong to the first generation of Americans not expected to live longer than our parents did. I am 45, no, not a baby-boomer..just a few years later. Obesity is a big, (excuse my pun) problem–Do you know that there not any overweight centurions? It is the only thing they have in common. Many people have stopped smoking, yet the cancer rate has not gone down. The only people I see who look younger than people did before are the people in Hollywood. In general population, no. I can’t predict what will happen to your generation in the future, but you are young, Hey, enjoy yourself!!!!!! Don’t worry too much about this

check my poem please?
is there 4 figures of speech in here…? and do you understand what it means?
its for a english assignment, so i need your opinion. (9th grade) thanks!
As the sun falls slowly behing the trees,
a dark blanket follows in equal speed.
like a spell has been cast to vanquish the light,
the morning now seeps into the night.

As if a law was set in stone,
the moon will rise to seize its throne,
trailed by his stars for knights and gaurds,
surrounded by royal black gardens and court yards.

Within that black shadows will rome,
seeking the darkness which is their home.
creatures and creeps will rustle and sigh,
some will take flight, some will run and hide.

But with every victory, there comes a loss,
and soon the light and dark will cross.
the sun will return in with its rays of fire,
forceing the moon to submit and retire.

And though no blood is really shead,
the sky fades from blue, to purple, then red.
an endless war as it may seem,
but night will return; prepare to dream

Dark side of the Sun?

My thoughts then started twisting and I realized there couln’d be a dark side to the sun. It is us, humans that are the dark side. We are the ones who messed with the animals? habitats and the weather. We are the cause of our own destruction. We pollute the earth kill off species before they are even discovered, wreck forests and cull animals… as they are taking over.

lots of neon lights and LED’s will make it go faster. Also a sub at full volume.

Oh dear.

Firstly, what kind of car do you have? You cannot simply add nitrous to ANY car. Granted, a modern car will take probably a few 100HP shots of NOS before it blows up, but your grandma’s 1980 Civic will not.

Secondly, what do you want to do with your car? Cruise around downtime, waiting for randoms to block of roads so you can have street races? Or get that little bit more Performance (with a capital P)? In either case, I suggest you forget it, but yourself the best suspension you can afford all round, and learn to drive properly, before you consider going faster.

Best bet is to join a forum which suits your car as each car differs with mods the basics are the same but joining a forum will give you the right parts to use in the right order and the best places to get them from.I can give you a list of mods for any car but you need the exact info for your car.

Stick with mods which are needed and no over the top mods add some fun mods but nothing over the top.and make sure all your mods blend.Modding can be fun i still do it to my cars and bikes after 21 years.Some good some bad and lessons learnt.
