FTW!

It made me think of that scene in Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow" where the headless Hessian bursts out of the ground ahorse.

Okay, this one has gone over my head... anyone care to explain?

They've found the mortal remains of Richard III in a car park in Leicester

Oh now, this great.

One could have expected a bit of more historical accurary from the Perrys though... the mini doesn't have the scoliosis wrecked back, for instance. /sarcasm.

By the way, are there any online sources about the king as a warrior, how did he fare on the battlefield before his demise?

Nono, *in* the parking lot. He was sitting there, smelly, bitter, armour all rusting drinking something out of a brown paper bag and ranting about a lost horse.

Hehe, poor chap. Hopefully somebody got him a cab or gave him a lift after all the media fuss.

What a fantastic conversion!

Bizarrely, the parking space he was under was marked with 'R' as the first letter of 'Reserved'.

He was known as 'Crookback' not 'Crouchback', that was a later corruption of his nickname. His scoliosis was apparently unnoticeable under clothing/armour, other than a raising of one shoulder in comparison to the other. When you take into account people like Usain Bolt and Sarah 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' Geller have scoliosis too, it's not likely to have effected his ability as a fighter, or his life generally, other than him not probably being a 'morning person'.

There's not much about right now that's detailed, but there's this about his battle injuries.
