Because (1) no one's in the mood for your crap right now and (2) there's no hoax you can make up that will be weirder than real life.

Terry Jones has passed away and it’s very sad, not least because he’d reportedly been suffering from severe dementia the last few years.

If you haven't guessed by now, I’ve been a Monty Python fan pretty much since high school (so 35 years or so, then). It’s hard to pick just one of his wonderful performances and characters, so here’s a less ( Read more... )
