Funniest Thread Ever.

i can't believe this is a question either. i always thought it was a myth, but apparently people have traced family lines and all that stuff.

Real? Is it really that important whether he was 'real' in the sense of having lived? I think it's more important that he represents, in the collective consciousness, something we all appreciate, ergo, the conquering of vulgar capitalisms injustice. See also Christ, Mohammed. What's more important is what he represents, rather than the ostensive 'facts' of the 'myth'.

this is the best thread i have seen in ages.

It's one of those questions which will never have a definitive answer. Apparently the character was based on a real person, people will have their opinions nobody actually knows.

It's one of those annoying questions you get at school where you have to weigh up all the evidence, discuss all aspects and come to the conclusion that there is no answer.

Have fun though.

according to BBC.com they found documentation that he really existed and was trapped in St. Mary's church. read here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2198224.stm

Just write what you find (in your "own words" of course) and then randomly choose a side. Is s/he going to mark you down for being wrong, or is it just an essay?

Myths & conspiracy theories are fun.

jon boy · 07.05.2006, 04:22 PM

Americans. A lot of people born in England refer to themselves as British. It's one of those weird ones. Like Spanish/ Catalonian.

They are? You mean North American?

And what exactly is the U.K.? Is it a country or a federation or what?
