Removed link to 2girls1cup, resisted temptation to switch it for BME
The grail is a frequent goal for legendary heroes, and it, like the [[Holy Lance]], is rumored to have special healing properties. The Holy Grail was first featured in literature sometime late in the 12th century, when [[Chretien de Troyes]] wrote his poem, ''The Story of the Grail''. While common knowledge describes the grail as a [[chalice]] or cup of sorts, in reality, it was first portrayed as a bowl or dish.

The Holy Grail has inspired authors and directors for centuries, notably [[Dan Brown]] for his book ''[[The Da Vinci Code]]'', [[Stephen Spielberg]] for his film ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'' and British comedians for their film ''[[Monty Python|Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]''. Other popular uses of the grail include the search by [[King Arthur]] and his knights of the round table, and the use of the grail as a metaphor for a very lofty trophy. It is frequently alluded in works of historical fiction, science fiction, and fantasy.
