If Like Myself You Are A Fan Of Monty Python,

I am sure you will remember the Black Knight,


in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a fight takes place between King Arthur and the Black Knight, as his name suggests, he is a knight dressed in black, a fight ensures, the scene ends with a great one liner, after losing both arms and legs the Black Knight shouts, ‘we will call it a draw then’, but think about it, if indeed the protagonists were fighting with foils in fencing terms, it was a draw, points are only scored when the torso is touched, the Black Knight suffered no torso wounds, so in fencing terms it was just that, a draw! Not many people know that.
