Make Use Of Podcast #42: Something Completely Different

Jason Mayoff — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 15:01:58 +0000

If you’re a fan of Monty Python (who isn’t, right) then you’ve got to be loving the new Monty Python channel on Youtube. What’s that? You haven’t heard about it? Well, we might just have to come over there and take your liver (even if you are using it), perhaps sell you an ex-Parrot, say Ni or even argue with you a little.

“No we won’t”
“Yes we will”
“No we won’t”
“Yes we will”
“Wait a minute, this isn’t an argument, it’s just contradiction”
“No, it’s not”

Tune in to the podcast and check out the video and then go to town watching all your favourite Python videos.

“Right, then! And now for something completely different”
