Wanting to do something to help his family, he decides to break into the home of Lance "The Dance", a former boxing champ, knowing something of value would be there.

Quotes:

Emperor of Lilliput: Well, you weren't exaggerating... he's a whopper!

Emperor of Lilliput: Good plans, boys, but I don't think we should actually murder him. You were so keen on killing Mother last year and now I miss her dreadfully. You're both too impulsive!

Empress of Lilliput: [while passing under Gulliver whose trousers are ragged] Colossus!

Lemuel Gulliver: The bestial Yahoos fight for no reason all. While we on the order hand fight for very good reasons, such as, well, our enemies are weaker than us or we desire all their land.

Lady-in-Waiting: I was wondering if the little gentleman might be for sale.::Farmer Grultrud: No disrespect, my lady, but no amount of money is going to part the two of us.::Lady-in-Waiting: I have here five-hundred pieces of gold.::Farmer Grultrud: Do you want to take him tonight?

Gen. Limtoc: Yesterday we gave him enough to feed a regiment for a week. Now he says he's hungry again!

[Gulliver has just kissed the Empress of Lilliput's hand, covering it with drool]::Clustril: Bring towels and a bucket! [to the Emperor] It seems his lips were a bit... wet.

Adm. Bolgolam: [the Emperor, his sons, General Limtoc and Admiral Bolgolam, Clustril and other s are in the Lilliputian campaign room, discussing Gulliver's 'inventive' way of extinguishing a fire] This is an outrage! He made water in the royal grounds! It's a treasonable offence!::Emperor of Lilliput: But he saved the Empress' life!::Gen. Limtoc: At what cost? Our stepmother may never go out in public again, convinced that she's the laughing stock of Lilliput!::Emperor of Lilliput: But she's not that... [to Clustril] Is she? [Clustril sniggers]

Gen. Limtoc: [Gulliver, who is looking into the window of Lilliputian Great Chamber of War, blows off Clustril's hat] Giant's a bloody menace!

Lemuel Gulliver: [to Clustril] I want you to have this.::[Gulliver gives him his wedding ring]::Clustril: Oh, marvellous! What do I want with your ring, eh? I can't wear it, can I?::Lemuel Gulliver: It's *gold*.::Clustril: [takes it in awe] You always were good to me! You were always my friend! Dad! We're *rich*!::Drunlo: Never mind that, son, never mind that. I think I've found... the other boot!

Is This Alexander the Great's Tomb?

Duration: 1:58
Updated: 13 Sep 2014

http://www.undergroundworldnews.com Its entrances are guarded first by a pair of sphinxes, then by columns in the form of women—each stretching out an arm to ward off intruders. Beyond them lies one of the greatest mysteries of modern archaeology, one that might be solved in the next few days—or might trouble the sleep of scholars for decades, as the last great find in the territory of the ancient Macedonians, the nation once ruled by Alexander the Great, has done. The structure that now holds much of Greece and Hellenists around the world in suspense stands at the site of ancient Amphipolis, about a hundred miles east of Thessalonica, on territory conquered by Alexander’s father Philip in the 4th century B.C. Amphipolis was a major Greek city and a stronghold of the vast Macedonian empire, but today the site is all but deserted. On grasslands where goatherds graze their flocks, under a hill called Kasta—now protected by a military cordon from throngs of onlookers—lies one of the most puzzling finds ever unearthed in the Aegean region. Round in shape and vast in size, the building beneath the hill has been called a tomb for lack of a better label. Circular buildings, though rare in antiquity, were sometimes used for royal burials, but no other known tombs approach the scale of this one: 500 meters in circumference (half again larger than Stonehenge) and surrounded by a superbly built marble wall. Atop the center of the building’s roof once stood a crouching stone lion, long ago removed from the site but still intact—a sign that the tomb, if such it is, probably held a great soldier or ruler. The structure’s date, fixed by analysis of the lion and the stonework, seems to be the last quarter of the 4th century B.C., the decades just after Alexander’s death in 323. Only Alexander himself, it would seem, could have merited such an enormous and expensive resting place, yet Alexander’s remains are known to have gone elsewhere—stolen by Ptolemy, the Macedonian ruler of Egypt, for interment in Alexandria and later visited by thousands. So unless an ancient legend is true, that Ptolemy swapped a dummy Alexander for the real one, the greatest corpse in the ancient world is already accounted for (at least until its unexplained disappearance many centuries later). So too, apparently, are the bodies of Alexander’s father and son, widely believed to be the occupants of two sumptuous tombs discovered, totally intact, in the late 1970s, near Vergina, on the site of what was once the Macedonian royal capital. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/09/13/is-this-alexander-the-great-s-tomb.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm;_medium=feed&utm;_campaign=Feed%3A+thedailybeast%2Farticles+%28The+Daily+Beast+-+Latest+Articles%29
