Opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one.

Knowledge is knowing Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

There is no such thing as a bad decision, only good decisions based on flawed information.

I've seen films they did (meaning of life, life of brian, holy grail) and they were absolutley hysterical! "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"

I've seen as much as I can get my hands on... wish I had more! BBC television rocks... Faulty Towers, whilst not being MP, is done by Cleese and is absolutely hilarious.

"Whatever you do... don't mention the war!!!"

"Look what you've done..." says her husband.
"Well you started it... you invaded Poland!" says Mr Fawlty

The part where the bed folds out of the blackboard on the 'Meaning of life' was as funny as hell.

Hmmm... Meaning of Life was my favourite. Includes such classics as the Conversation Cafe, Live Organ Extraction, and "Nurse, fetch the machine that goes 'PING!'".

Did you know that's where we got the internet meaning for spam?

Originally, internet spam was not posting something that meant nothing, spam meant saying something over and over again repeatedly. People started calling it spam after the Monty Python skit, since they say the word spam over 200 times in 3 minutes.

Since then, on the internet, people have taken to calling anything that has no point spam, obscuring the original meaning of the word. Just like the word -blam!- no longer means happy.

As I recall, the sketch involved some people trying to have a conversation in a cafe, and some vikings began coming in and chanting SPAM SPAM SPAM and the conversation became inaudible under the vikings chants of SPAM.

And that's what happens when people start sending spam emails and spamming forums. Perhaps we should rename spammers Vikings in honor of the sketch...
