The Holy Grail is a dish, plate, stone, or cup that is part of an important theme of Arthurian literature. According to legend, it has special powers, and is designed to provide happiness, eternal youth and food in infinite abundance.
A grail, wondrous but not explicitly holy, first appears in Perceval le Gallois, an unfinished romance by Chrétien de Troyes. It is a processional salver used to serve at a feast. Chrétien's story attracted many continuators, translators and interpreters in the later 12th and early 13th centuries, including Wolfram von Eschenbach, who perceived the grail as a great precious stone that fell from the sky. The Grail legend became interwoven with legends of the Holy Chalice. The connection with Joseph of Arimathea and with vessels associated with the Last Supper and crucifixion of Jesus dates from Robert de Boron's Joseph d'Arimathie (late 12th century) in which Joseph receives the Grail from an apparition of Jesus and sends it with his followers to Great Britain. Building upon this theme, later writers recounted how Joseph used the Grail to catch Christ's blood while interring him and how he founded a line of guardians to keep it safe in Britain. The legend may combine Christian lore with a Celtic myth of a cauldron endowed with special powers.
Monty Python (sometimes known as The Pythons) were a British surreal comedy group who created the sketch comedy show Monty Python's Flying Circus, that first aired on the BBC on 5 October 1969. Forty-five episodes were made over four seasons. The Python phenomenon developed from the television series into something larger in scope and impact, spawning touring stage shows, films, numerous albums, several books, and a stage musical. The group's influence on comedy has been compared to The Beatles' influence on music.
Broadcast by the BBC between 1969 and 1974, Flying Circus was conceived, written, and performed by its members Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. Loosely structured as a sketch show, but with an innovative stream-of-consciousness approach (aided by Gilliam's animation), it pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable in style and content. A self-contained comedy team responsible for both writing and performing their work, the Pythons had creative control which allowed them to experiment with form and content, discarding rules of television comedy. Their influence on British comedy has been apparent for years, while in North America, it has coloured the work of cult performers from the early editions of Saturday Night Live through to more recent absurdist trends in television comedy. "Pythonesque" has entered the English lexicon as a result.
A black knight is a literary stock character.
Black Knight or Black Knights can also refer to:
Sacred means revered due to sanctity, is in general the state of being holy (perceived by religious individuals as associated with divinity) or sacred (considered worthy of spiritual respect or devotion; or inspiring awe or reverence among believers).
From an anthropological or atheistic perspective, the religious view of the sacred is an emic perspective on a culture's collection of thoughts and practices that function as a basis for the community's social structure.
Objects are often considered holy or sacred if used for spiritual purposes, such as the worship or service of gods. The property is often ascribed to people ("a holy man", a "holy prophet" who is venerated by his followers), objects (a "sacred artifact" that is venerated and blessed), times ("holy days"), or places ("holy places", "sacred ground").
The word "sacred" descends from the Latin sacrum, which referred to the gods or anything in their power, and to sacerdos and sanctum, set apart. It was generally conceived spatially, as referring to the area around a temple.
Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter, actor, and record producer. He appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. They released the albums NSYNC (1998), No Strings Attached (2000), and Celebrity (2001). During the group's hiatus, Timberlake released his debut solo album, the R&B-focused Justified (2002), which included the successful singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body", and earned his first two Grammy Awards.
His second record, FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006), distinguished from his previous release by its wide range of musical influences, debuted atop the US Billboard 200 and produced the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "SexyBack", "My Love", and "What Goes Around... Comes Around". With his first two albums exceeding sales of 10 million copies worldwide, he was established as one of the most commercially successful singers of the decade. He also has collaborated with other artists, including Timbaland ("Give It to Me") and Madonna ("4 Minutes"). From 2008 through 2012, Timberlake focused on his acting career, effectively putting his music career on hiatus; he held starring roles in the films The Social Network, Bad Teacher, In Time, and Friends with Benefits.

Plot: DRAGON'S REALM " The search for the forgotten art" At the height of the fifth realm war the old serpent, the dark dragon, prince of the air, lost his power to the One, but the dragon retained the minds of earth's inhabitants. By trapping their minds in captive philosophies he corrupted man's freedom of thought that conceives a race of people who forgot their unequivocal power against the dragon's realm. The One emphatic mastery over the dragon is known as the forgotten art, the Word of truth which was sent to men. It was inscribed in the heart of men by the One from the beginning. In the One was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The remnant order of knightfighters scribes in scrolled this truth and hid the original scroll, but distributed copies throughout the world. They alone kept the legend of the scroll's doctrine alive, though its true potential now lies dormant. Two millennium's later. The dragon's sinister agents, rulers, authorities and powers of this dark world and his unseen dark forces managed to distort, twist or destroy all of the ancient scrolls except for the One's ancient scroll. Knowledge of its hidden place was lost. During a stealth battle the loyal knightfighters spies managed to ascend an agent to a Daimyo position within the unseen dragon's earthly kingdom as well as find the secret location of the last ancient scroll thought to be destroyed sometime ago.

I've been searching oh I fear
For what seems like a thousand years
Only to find that I'm losing my mind
I've been standing to the side
A blackened soul as my guide
Only to see there's a price to be free
You can cast a magic spell
Or pull the sword from the the stone
Until you find the Grail that you've been looking for
You'll always be alone
Where is this Grail I've been searching for?
So many years since you've been gone
On all the roads I have traveled on
Where is this grail I've been searching for?
I have run so far away from the stench of decay
Only to learn I should never have turned
I'm completely at fault, to a pillar of salt
I've been reduced feel the pull of the noose
You can cast a magic spell
Or pull the sword from the the stone
Until you find the Grail that you've been looking for
You'll always be alone
Where is this Grail I've been searching for?
So many years since you've been gone
On all the roads I have traveled on
