Q: What are 5 facts about Robin Hood?

A: 1.) Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor, making the poor rich and the rich poor, forcing him to steal from the newly rich, who were once poor, and give to the newly poor, who had been rich until he stole their wealth. Now, the rich were once again rich and the poor once again poor. And the cycle continued.
     2.) Robin Hood spoke with a flat Midwestern accent, which Kevin Costner captured perfectly in the film Tin Cup. To this day, no one can explain his accent in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. 
     3.) Robin Hood was the finest archer of his day. He once hit a target 6 feet wide from a distance of 10 feet, to the amazement of his assembled Merry Men, archery standards being much lower at the time.
     4.) In his late 20's Robin Hood fled civilization to live in Himalayas and study the teachings of the Great Buddha. A fox he found in the woods assumed his identity during his departure. No one ever knew the difference, least of all Maid Marion.
    5.) Robin Hood was the first man to swing into combat on a rope hanging from a chandelier, and the first man to die by swinging into combat on a rope hanging from a chandelier.
