Monty Python's Flying Circus, the group responsible for the launching the Ministry of Silly Walks and the Parrot Sketch on an unsuspecting world, was on Monday celebrating 40 years since the comedy sketch show was first broadcast.
The show, which was written and acted by John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Graham Chapman, first aired on October 5, 1969 and ran for a total of 45 episodes.
It was the Pythons' surreal and satirical humour which shot them to global fame in the 1970s, as they broke new ground in what was acceptable in terms of both style and content.

A friend of mine was actually asked during a job interview “What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?” He, of course, asked for clarification “African or European?” and got the job. LOL.

No it wasn't.
I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue anymore.
If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes.

I grew up on the Canadian border with access to the BBC.
The first set of bare breasts I ever saw (at age 16) were on Monty Python.
Being self-involved, I never thought to write and thank them.
