in SPOB there was a scene of end-of-the-world monks that centered on the line "will this wind be so mighty as to lay low the mountains of the earth". the same line and odd intonation was used in a bugs bunny skit that involved the martian. i've been told the line derives from king lear. is that true? how do you think this line made it into skits by MP and WB?
