Awesome
Hrm... I just came across something awesome in a book and thought it might be noteworthy to some. It made me giggle.
From an article featuring some quotes from Monty Python's Flying Circus
"Narrator: "It was a day like any other and Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Brainsample were a perfectly ordinary couple, leading perfectly ordinary lives--the sort of people to whom nothing extraordinary ever happened, and not the kind of people to be the center of one of the most astounding incidents in the history of mankind... so let's forget about them and follow instead the destiny of this man (camera pans to businessman in bowler hat and pinstrip suit)... Harold Potter, gardener, and tax official, first victim of Creatures from Another Planet.""
It also had another quote from a skit about chocolate covered frogs. Haha. The book was published before Harry Potter came out, and obviously, Monty Python's Flying Circus aired like 30 years ago, so the article wasn't trying to link the two. It was just a happy coincidence that those quotes were used to "illustrate Monty Python's unique comedic style."
Awesome. Somehow, the thought that the richest person in the universe (or whatever) ripped off of Monty Python is rather satisfying.
