heh.  You no fool me, American.  People who rip off Suleiman the 
Magnificent don't need to rip off King Arthur too, because they've gone 
pretty much all the way up their hierarchy.  (okay, I'm lying.  Suleiman 
the Magnificent grafted his hierarchy on to Rome, kind of like King 
Arthur did.  Still, he's a different branch.)

Still, I look forward to Turkish Ripping Off Sultan Suleiman.  :)

Oh, I'm sure Rippy Offy will give you some *other* ideas by then.  Which 
makes me think...  Perhaps Rippy Offy has taken over the strip!
