In the 14th or 15th century, a guy named Rabelais wrote a humorous set of
books with a character named Pantagruel.  He was a very, em, thirsty guy,
and a giant to boot.  If my memory serves me (sometimes!), these books are
set in a place called Cloud-Cuckoo Land.  Even though old, the books are
really funny and amazingly . . . well, racy.  For the time.  Wish I
remembered more, but the dredge ain't been built that could get through the
muck at the bottom of my mind!
