I love how the final figure is actually two references in one, being pretty much identical to the famous Salvador Dali ink drawing of the character.

Don Quixote. An aging Spanish Don with dreams of chivalry, famous for charging at windmills thinking they were giants. Oh, and on a mule, no less.

Oh, error on my part -- not Dali, but Picasso.

I remain fairly firmly of the opinion that if the world ever is menaced by hostile windmills, Don Quixote de la Mancha will be there.

Now I've got Dulcinea stuck running in the back of my mind.
I mean, I wanted the Impossible Dream, it's a much better song.
Damn.

Come to think of it, that'd also be a CTSB...

Well, since I was referencing The Once and Future King, I think it says that you've been reading too much sci-fi.

There's *no such thing* as 'too much sci-fi'.

Even more xkcd: My favourite zombie-outbreak movie premise ever!
But I think by now everybody knows I'm a bit odd in what sort of movies I like.
