We took a trip to California one summer and we visited Univeral Studios (that was long before there even was one in Florida). And we saw, that's right, KITT!!! You know, from Knight Rider. You know, with David Hasselhoff. You know, the guy from Baywatch.

[...] to the extent of spitting on the cross and worshipped idols during secret nighttime ceremonies. Some knights confessed under interrogation to having seen such an idol, variously described as a 'man's head with a very fierce-looking face and beard'; two faces with a beard made of silver; 'a Templar's head wearing a hat and a long white beard' and 'a great head of gilded silver, most beautiful, and constituting the image of a woman'. Many authors have taken turns at identifying these heads as wooden carvings, the skull of a female saint, and even the embalmed head of John the Baptist or Jesus himself!
Yet it is the association of the head with the mysterious name Baphomet (or Bafomet) that has been the subject of the most intense scrutiny and colourful commentary since the word does not appear in any lexicon. Thanks to a striking illustration by Victorian occultist Eliphas Levi, an androgynous winged goat-headed figure with a pentagram on its forehead has become an especially famous face of Baphomet, having been later adopted by Aleister Crowley and more recently Satanists. However, it has nothing to do with the original Templars.
Albert Olliver (author of Les Templiers, 1958) held that Baphomet was akin to Bapho, the name of the Cyprus port used by the Templars, assuming from that a relationship between a goddess worshipped in ancient Bapho called Astarte, and the Virgin Mary, who had special meaning for the Templars. Other researchers concur with the idea that the word was a corruption of the Arabic word 'abufihamat' meaning 'father of understanding', a possible indication that the Templars had infused beliefs from Islam. Another often-quoted idea uses a Hebrew code called the Atbash Cipher to show that the secret word behind Baphomet is the Greek word Sophia, meaning 'wisdom'. This interpretation, first mooted by respected Biblical scholar Dr Hugh Schonenfeld, gained ultimate fame in The Da Vinci Code, and vies with Levi's 'sabbatic goat' as the most recognizable face of Baphomet.
The most credible explanation, however, is that it is simply an Old French deformation of Muhammad, and originated with people who did not realise that Islam forbids human representation. To worship a baphometic image was therefore one way to smear the Templars with heresy.
Although a reasonably strong case has been made for the Turin Shroud having at one time belonged to the Templars, it does not follow that the Templecombe painting is a direct copy of the Shroud. Clearly, it represents a living person. I am therefore of the same mind as those who recognize in it an echo of miraculous heads in myths that originate outside and often pre-date Christianity. I feel that the Templecombe painting -undoubtedly a genuine Templar treasure - is even more enigmatic and haunting than its more recognixable counterpart in Turin.

Here's a Mike the Knight cake I made last week. I must admit I didn't know who Mike the Knight was when I got the order, but I enjoyed finding out and am quite happy with the result. This was made from a nice moist chocolate cake - a nightmare to carve, but very yummy to eat!

The Knight Bus is a triple-decker, purple AEC Regent III RT that assists stranded individuals of the wizarding community through public transportation. It operates at a very fast speed and obstacles will jump out of its way. To hail the bus, a witch or wizard must stick their wand hand in the air in the same manner that a Muggle might do to hail a taxi, though it is possible to book tickets for travel on the bus in advance.
