It has been si ingtaned into us that such services online will cost nothing but your data, so I was hesitant to pay for one

But kagis been really good for 2 months or so, I only use something else sometimes to crossreference results but even thats rare

I wish I could find the rest of the poem that this headline is from

"Now listen to my story, yes listen while I sing Of days of old in England, when Arthur was the king, Of Merlin the magician, and Guinevere the queen, And Lancelot, the bravest knight the world has ever seen.

In days of old, when knights were bold, this story’s told Of Lancelot.

He rode the wilds of England, adventures for to seek, To rescue maidens in distress and help the poor and weak. If anyone oppressed you, he'd be your champion. He fought a million battles, though he never lost a one.

In days of old, when knights were bold, This story’s told of Lancelot. In days of old, when knights were bold, this story’s told Of Lancelot."

From an old TV show, you can listen to it here.

No idea whether that's the origin of the line, but it's the oldest occurrence I managed to find.

Doubtful that it's the original, but my mom taught me: In the days of old when knights were bold and toilet paper wasn't invented, they'd wipe their ass with a piece of grass and walk away contented.

It never occurred to me until this post that there might be another version, but I would indeed be interested in seeing it.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
