The family lived in the next village but I never met Eric; I think he was sent to a private school. His mum was very proud of him and most of her conversational ploys started with "my son, Eric... "

There are so many Pythonesque moments in the annals of ID. How many times, after an IDist argument has been disarmed, defeated, humiliated, destroyed, dismembered, and generally made the object of slapstick fun, have we witnessed the IDer, a la the Black Knight at the bridge, come back with "it's barely a scratch! C'mon! what are you afraid of?" By the way, was Nurse Idle funny? -------------- Must... not... scratch... mosquito bite.

If you bust out laughing when some nitwit says at Uncommon Descent, "I'm amazed that our critics never tackle the substance of our arguments.", then you'll laugh at Python.

A:   No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument. M:  An argument isn't just contradiction. A:   It can be. M:  No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition. A:   No it isn't. M:  Yes it is! It's not just contradiction. A:   Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position. M:  Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.' A:   Yes it is! M:   No it isn't!

I have a whole bunch of Python MP3's here, that I found on a server at work... First Python I ever saw was "Meaning of life". I got it the moment it got "unbanned" in my country. IDiots also remind me of the "dead parrot" bit. It's DEAD!   No, it's just resting... Flat on it's back? That's what parrots do! LOL

Just as a bit of one-upmanship, I went to the wedding of one of the python's   And he believes in evolution. -------------- If I fly the coop some time And take nothing but a grip With the few good books that really count It's a necessary trip I'll be gone with the girl in the gold silk jacket The girl with the pearl-driller's hands
