Given Hill's penchant for bad jokes and puns, I'm surprised it's not called "The Viking Calls It A Knight."

Hill's books are like Epic Movie, Date Movie, Meet the Spartans, etc. You wonder WHY they're made, but obviously someone's paying to see them....

Well, I have always wondered what the knights did during their down-time; now I know, they dabbled around with bee keeping experiments.

Yep. Makes perfect sense. I will admit to being a little surprised that knights had mullets.
