That trailer reminded me a little of the last King Arthur film...looking forward to it.

Little John is the only companion of Robin who is mentioned in any of the original ballads. Tuck, Marian, Will Scarlett - they all came along much later. Many of the stories of Robin Hood's deeds are also told of other outlaws, men whose existence is verified in royal documents. No person by the name of 'Robin Hood' is ever mentioned in any official source. I recently reread an old favorite covering the subject in detail, but as I borrowed it from a friend I can't remember the exact title or the author. I spent some time going back over the 'What Are You Reading Right Now' thread, but of all the many books I've read in the last four years, I forgot to mention that one.  But here is a good website: http://www.robinhood.ltd.uk/

But it's one of man's basic rights to make bad jokes. Just read Voltaire.
Sorry Sky, it's one of those language-specific weirdnesses. It's all about how it sounds to someone who doesn't speak the language.

 Ja, dat's ze vun! I've told this story before, but with the debate going on over the SH5 trailer voices I have to repeat it here. Back in the SH2/DC days people actually complained the other way; that is they didn't like the English voices having German accents. But the best part was when a German user of Destroyer Command posted asking if someone could send him a full DC sound file set. It seems that the German version only had German voices, speaking in a bad American accent, and he wanted the real thing. What goes around comes around.
