It's been years since any of them in the forum have seen the sun. They use to be called black/white/grey hats, but now they like to refer themselves to moles.
I was interested in this so I looked into it a few years back. Here's what I found (supplemented by a quick perusal of Wikipedia while posting to refresh the memory):-
They're two separate legends that don't really knit together properly.
The sword in the stone myth is the earlier of the two and is probably inspired by Sigmund pulling Odin's sword from a tree to prove his lineage in the Sigurd tales. In it's earliest inceptions there's nothing to indicate it's Excalibur (it's just Uther's sword) but some of the later tales start to conflate the two.
The Lady of the Lake myth appears considerably later and does conflict with the former legend. Some later stories continue to conflate the two, some go back to imagining the sword in the stone as just Uther's sword and not Excalibur and some (notably Malory) just give both legends and never bother trying to explain the discrepancy.
It's interesting to map the growth of the Arthurian legends over time as they change quite considerably. There no Guinevere in the early tales, for example - she was added in the high medieval period when chivalry was de rigeur. The holy grail's also a latter addition and only starts to appear around the time of the crusades. From what I remember Lancelot's also a pretty late addition.
edit> BTW if anyone wants a really fun twist on the Arthurian legends, Bernard Cornwells is particularly amusing. He has Guinevere as a complete slut, Merlin as a charlatan, Lancelot as a total coward who just happened to hire the right bard to write about him and Arthur as a total wimp. All god fun.
Well, I didn't bother with that Wikipedia nonsense. I went with the finest word on the subject, as the phrases I used plainly showed. I had to go back to review the source to be sure I had the wording right.

That entire scandal was cooked up by comedians because there just isn't any way to talk about it without making jokes out of it, whether intentional or otherwise.

Re: Post Race!
anyone know any underground hack forum?
Of course, if anyone did know of such a forum they wouldn't be stupid enough to incur some funky wrath by posting it here would they? I'm sure nobody would be that stupid.

Had to take the day off today. The city hasn't plowed my street since before the last snowstorm. I can't get out of my driveway!

I wish we had that problem. After a good start to the winter, it has gotten seriously warm and dry. We need a snowpack in the mountains, and we haven't been getting one. It's snowing up there now, but the forecast has it getting into the 40s even up to 7,000 feet, so the precipitation is likely to turn to rain. Some is still better than none, though rain doesn't linger as long as snow does.
It's not a good idea to eat any snow. The stuff is dirty.

Usually, that's true. We get horrible inversions, which seem to be largely western phenomena. Inversion season is almost over, though, at which point it will be nicer.

Two winters back we had a severe inversion. The temperature down in the valley stayed in the single digits without gaining or losing much day after day. Sixteen super-twisty miles, and 4,000' above the city of Boise is Bogus Basin Ski Area, where the temperature was generally getting up into the mid-30s to low-40s each day. You'd drive up out of the perpetual cloud bank in the valley, up into bright, sunny, skies where the temperature was too warm for good skiing. It was an ugly way to live.
Currently, the inversion is gone, but a couple weeks back we were getting up over 30 each day, which would have been nice, except that the ski area was seeing mid-50s. Give me the mid-50s down here to keep the heating bills down, and the 30's on the mountain to keep the skiing up. Instead, we get it the other way around.
