Professor Judy Shoaf, the Arthurnet moderator, today contributed to a discussion started by someone baldly stating, "Everything about Arthur is fiction":

I asked a new class in a course "Tales of King Arthur" if they thought King Arthur ever really lived. About a third of them said "No, he was a composite of various historical people." About another third said, "Yes, he was a composit of various historical people..."

I laughed for thirty seconds solid.

"The other third admitted to being there exclusively for the class credit and freely admitted they didn't care if he was a hedgehog..."

People are weird. ^_^

He looked a lot like Graham Chapman.

I've seen a photo of him, so of course he was real. Photographs don't lie.
