Well, apparently there’s been an Olympics, a Democratic nomination and the beginnings of a federal election in Canada since I last posted, but I can’t talk about any of that now because…. I found something funny on the internet! Seriously! Personally I’m holding out for Hard Times done over Electrical Telegraph. Hat tip to Brendan and Jason, [...]
There's this Facebook application that allows you to declare yourself a fan of something. Man, I am glad that this didn't exist when I was in high school, when I was at my apex of geekdom and would have declared myself a fan of The X-Files, Star Trek TNG, Monty Python, Kids in the Hall, Flannery O'Connor, The United Nations, Otto Preminger, and--well, the list goes on. I also had appalling music taste...
Episode 3, RT 23:09. Famous for lampooning the medieval world in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Terry Jones has a real passion for and detailed knowledge of the Middle Ages. In Terry Jones' Medieval Lives, his mission is to rescue the Middle Ages from moth-eaten cliches and well-worn platitudes. Behind the stereotypes of "damsels in distress" and "knights in shining armor," there are wonderfully...
Here all this time we were told Ronald Reagan was to blame for the spread of AIDS.What, as the old Monty Python question goes, have the Romans ever done for us? Well, apart from the usual answers of roads, sanitation and a fondness for wine, it appears they have also made us more vulnerable to HIV. According to genetic research published on Wednesday, when Julius Caesar made his first
The US Presidential race just gets wackier and wackier. Now it transpires that Republican hopeful John McCain has selected former Monty Python star Michael Palin (above) as his running mate. When I first saw the newspaper headlines: 'McCain opts for Palin', I was somewhat surprised. I didn't know that Palin even possessed an American passport (I suppose he must have picked one up during his around...
“Major ice shelf loss for Canada,” rails the BBC. Twenty square miles. “Colossal!” This is beyond advocacy. It’s comedy. Where is our Twenty-First Century Monty Python to lampoon these grotesqueries?
I enjoyed the spin which Ben Myers put on Rowan Williams' performance as Archbishop of Canterbury. The Anglican communion has had a few internal conflicts lately, in case anyone hasn't been tracking the news. I'm not sure of Ben's sense of humor but I expect that Ben didn't mean this piece as satire. But all the while reading it, the pro-Williams passages struck me as very much what the opponents of...

Here are three amusing stories that I've wanted to touch on lately. 1. Bloomberg mistakenly reports Jobs is dead In a move that can only be called Monty Python-ish: News Media:Bring out your dead!Bring out your dead! Bloomberg:Here's one. News Media:…
Many people are still wondering why American Presidential Candidate John McCain picked Palin as his running mate and potential Vice President and will be shocked as I was to find the Palin in question is not Monty Python star Michael Palin. But the selection is actually not crazy and prove McCain is no dead parrot as far vas the Presidency goes. Let’s examine the logic. Palin, Governor of Alaska,...
Of course not ... especially you see the ideal stocking stuffer for yourself: the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, rendered as a plush toy - and with removable limbs to boot! Sadly, it's evidently not currently available. Saw it here.

John Cleese would rather have a species of lemur named after him than receive a "knighthood." The former 'Monty Python' star - who turned down a CBE in 1996 - insists it was more of an honor when a variety of woolly lemur was named Avahi Cleesei in 2005. Cleese said: "A Swiss guy asked for permission to name it after me. I would rather have that than a knighthood or a peerage." Read Full Story
