Why is that page making me laugh so much?

Maybe because I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

Easily, we just followed the path.

Besides, there's no longer Knights who say Ni, they are now Knights who 
say Eki-eki-eki-pa-tang-zii-wong.

The use of ye olde language in a comedy frame would naturally invoke Holy  
Grail in certain groups.

If you want a convoluted path try concocting one linking pier fires >  
space elevators, which was one I had last night.

That'd incur a fixed penalty fine for littering :-)

For those who are interested read on...

The discussion started with holidays and that led to the recent pier fire  
in this country (of which we'd had two) and the rationale for the  
existence of the piers themselves.
"Perhaps they didn't want those of types of building on the main  
promenade" suggested one
"Or they didn't have the space" suggested another
"I'm surprised they haven't tried building houses out on them"
"Too exposed to the weather, could do them underwater though"
"You'd need to sort out lighting though, you'd go mental"
"I'm surprised that we haven't colonized the Moon yet"
"Too expensive remember; getting everything out of the Earth's gravity  
well"
"What we need is a space elevator"

All perfectly logical.
