Analogies are as useful as a pair of glasses are to a blind man.

What is the worth of a balcony? A balcony is worth a hundred bars and clubs and other usual Friday night hotspots. Put some drinks, music, and good company on that balcony, and you'll have a night to remember. Throw in a dancing Scotsman, and you won't be able to forget, even if you wanted to. Which you wouldn't, because it's just too damn funny!
Archimedes the Owl: If the boy goes about saying the world is round, they'll take him for a lunatic.
Arthur: The world is round?
Merlin: Yes. Yes, that's right, and it also goes a-round.
Arthur: You mean it'll be round someday.
Merlin: No, no, no, it's round now. Man will discover this in centuries to come. And he will also find that the world is merely a tiny speck in the universe.
Arthur: Universe?
Archimedes the Owl: You're only confusing the boy. Before you're through, he'll be so mixed up, he'll... he'll be wearing his shoes on his head!
