Greatest moat in the realm? I guess the serfs and nobles both, are happy to pay the support for such a great wonder. To feed the killer whale and clean out the moat. Kind of a lame reason to enact taxes… the king sure isn’t going to pay from his own personal coffers, is he.
@bluskies -You’re the first person I’ve ever found that had a clue about Winky-Dink! When I’ve tried to explain the 50s-era TV cartoon show to others, they looked at me like I had three heads! I remember the blue-tinted vinyl that one placed over the TV screen… the flannel for erasing the crayon marks (and imparting a static charge to keep the vinyl stuck to the screen)… the colored crayons to trace the clues to the puzzle. I also remember the spankings I got from my father for failure to remove the tinted vinyl afterward. And for drawing directly on the TV when I couldn’t find the screen cover. Ahhhh, weren’t those the days?
@WCLAMB….speaking of 50s-era TV…do you recall the 15 minute serial “Crusader Rabbit”? It was my all time favorite @ 4:45 pm….never found anyone else who remembers it.

He must have been on the job for at least five years: they’ve given him a brush.

He’d read about the Orca at Delphi in a history book and wanted one for himself.

Winky-Dink screen? Oh-my! Somebody is showing his age!
Glad to see that there are some of us here who can remember back that far.

The “moat” is probably an ocean that surrounds an island…
