    Didn't quite get the coconut - swallow connection either, but maybe I'm just a little slow.

    This particular coconut/swallow reference is from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. A rather amusing take on the story of King Arthur by a bunch of nutty Brits.

    As an American, I am sure there are a bunch of references that I miss because I'm not British. But it is a hilarious movie and I happen to find British humor amusing. The scene that refers to the swallows is in the beginning of the film. In certain circles, knowledge of the movie is critical to your geek score, with more points granted for the number of scenes you can quote. (Although, if you can quote the whole movie verbatim, that might indicate a different kind of problem. :-D)

    Ni!

    The answer is simple as well:

    -- assuming your table has the appropriate columns and the values you'd like to query are entered...

    No, not when the knights who say ni are no longer the knights who say ni, but the knights who say 'ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing'. 🙂

    Ni!

    Anyone else ever run into the Easter Egg in Fallout 2 relevant to that particular scene from the Holy Grail?

    Among a lot of other mysteries here's one I never figured out:

    How can I make my assumption quoted above become true ? :hehe:

    Seriously, the OP has been asked more than once to provide more detailed information so I decided to show him one possible solutionbased on what the OP provided. Was it too offensive??
