Hi Pseudemys!
I notice you are editing my entry on Sandcastles. You seem to have added a footnote about Canute. Being a dreadful pedant, I have to correct you on it. Canute did not think he could hold back the sea. He knew he couldn't but his "yes-men" said he could. He demonstrated that despite his being king, he was not all powerful. Then he had the "yes-men" executed to teach them a lesson.
