I'm sure you will totally appreciate Spamalot, in any case--you 
should definitely catch it.  I'm sure it is coming to Toronto 
eventually.  I just saw it in Boston, it's great.  Great spoof of all 
that middle ages stuff along with modern show business, etc.  You 
know what they say, those who forget the past are doomed to repeat 
it, so now you know the past and you're totally up on the present too 
so you will know whether GWB & Co. are making the same mistakes as 
all those medieval people did.  I know, it's a stretch, but I was 
trying to tie your interest in medieval history with your interest in 
the news and it isn't working very well.
