Monty Python members have reunited to voice a 3D animated film based on the memoirs of the late Graham Chapman.

A Liar's Autobiography will feature recordings that Chapman, who died in 1989 aged 48, made of his 1980 book.

John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Terry Jones have all signed up while Eric Idle is not involved. The film is due out in spring next year.

Jones joked he had "no idea" until recently that Chapman was dead and "thought he was just being lazy".

"However, I am now delighted to find myself working with him again on this exciting project," he added.

Michael Palin took his cameras on a Round The World in 80 Days adventure. Some how he missed the intended boat and ended up in Shanghai where some one looked out for him to get him on the proper course.

He was taken out to dinner there where there was an appetizer that was some kind of Snake.

Palin declared that sounds good, but are they Free Range Snakes?

I recently acquired all the Monty Python episodes on my hard drive and watch them when my wife is away.

Python members knew that the Beatles and the Stones were big fans of theirs but it was just revealed in the last few years that Elvis was also a huge fan of their work.

I thought he was tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk ...

You stunned him just as he was waking up! Graham stuns easily.

“Looks like we have an eater”

May I take this opportunity of emphasizing that there is no cannibalism in Monty Python. Absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount, more than we are prepared to admit, but all new ratings are warned that if they wake up in the morning and find any toothmarks at all anywhere on their bodies, they're to tell me immediately so that I can immediately take every measure to hush the whole thing up.

Pink Floyd were also big fans. They would stop recording sessions to watch ‘Flying Circus’

In addition, they provided much of the funding to make ‘Holy Grail’

How can they call it a reunion without Eric Idle?

I have the CD, The Final Ripoff, by Monty Python. I listen to the songs often. “Sit On My Face” and “Lumberjack” are classic as are “I Like Chinese” and “Spam”.
