Matthew, Simon and the Holy Grail
Simon and I had a quest this morning, and that quest was to locate the Holy Grail. Search for it, if you will.
Sure this involved noticing in the Lonely Planet guide that the only supposed Holy Grail with the Vatican Tick of Approval™ was in the church a short walk from our hostel in Valencia; but it was a quest all the same. There was even suffering involved. We had to get up really early.
Early as in before some shops are open. In my world, all shops are open from some theoretical origin point and then just decided to shut at some stage during the normal day. That shops have a finite opening hour, and the possibility of me arriving before that hour, is a concept I've never really been confronted by. But there I was - pressed up against the glass window of a closed breakfast outlet, whimpering out of pure desperate need for orange juice.
Once that was sorted we walked the short distance to the cathedral and went in. At this point we failed in our quest, in a traditional Hilarity100 manner. Can you guess which of the following was the cause of our quest's demise?
- Unable to defeat the dragon at the entrance to where the Grail lay.
- Incorrectly answered one of the three questions to prove our worth.
- Grail display closed for maintenance.
Most pathetic ending to a quest, ever.

I am highly tempted to answer 1, but 1 isn't nearly as hilarious as 3.
I am going to go with 3.

Sorry to make a 4th comment, but what sets off the photos? Is it just the name?
If that's the case then I was one full stop away from some serious Mr. T.
