-Barrel Roll-

Some time ago, a friend of mine and I had a running joke that surfaced every time the 'Indiana Jones; the Last Crusade' was mentioned in conversation.

For Harrison Ford to reach the Holy Grail, he must pass three challenges. According to the ancient lore on the subject, these are: the breath of God, the name of God, the path of God.

Forget about the second and third.

The breath of God:

I apologize if I am spoiling the film for anyone, but the breath of god is a pair of giant circular saws, hidden until some poor grail-seeker comes in alone, ensuring that none of them will see what happened. One is positioned to sweep out at the neck, the another springs out of the floor at an angle.

Here's the quandary - Ford approaches, mumbling over and over again "the penitent man may pass." This phrase clues him in, just in time, to what he must do - "the penitent man kneels before God - Kneel!"

He drops to his knees and the first blade hisses over his head. And THEN he does a barrel roll to miss the second blade.

That wasn't in the lore.

Piety demands genuflection and tumbling abilities. Don't trust a cleric who can't adequately do both.
