    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: An Unladen Swallow Edition

    During their quest for the Holy Grail, the Knights of the Round Table, who dance when’ere they’re able, were tasked with several riddles, not the least of which was “What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?”  You might be ready to tell me that this is all a later edition of the myth, and one that isn’t canonical, to which I will snottily respond that you should probably look up Sir Lancelot some time.  Either way, the question is more complicated that it seems, leading to today’s bifurcated speciated query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) would like to point out that we’re not specifically talking about airspeed velocity here, asking: African or European swallow?

Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.
