The Medieval Connection

It's bee a while since I put up a good thread on jokes and such. Well, I've done my research this time and have found a use for my medieval studies. No, really, I'm serious... fine don't believe me. I'll prove it to you. First we shall start with the tapestries... And castles and relics and such...

In my pursuit of the Holy Grail... Err.. I mean medieval literature, I had to download and study the entirety of the Bayeux Tapestry. It was my delight to find that common internet memes have since been recorded therein. As proof I present the following:


This represents the classic "There are no girls on the internet" ideology.


This represents the common phrase "I would hit that."


This is a parody on the "Milk Shake" song.


And last this, being my favorite, just makes fun of some of the stitching.

Now of course the tapestry is of great historical significance and intrinsic value since it was woven by the subjugated English women by order of the new Norman aristocracy to chronicle the Norman invasion and capture of the British Isles. Quite fascinating if I do say so myself. That and very very long...

... and here's something for the ninjas in my audience...

... Oh, and for those of you who are Sci-fi or Bruce Campbell fans, Klaatu Barada Nikto is the phrase to know.
