Monty Python does Corporations



A bunch of Olde Britishe Codgers successfully repel a corporate invasion by American yuppie executives, in the best Errol Flynn style, then sail their creaky office building across the Atlantic to attack Manhattan....




If you haven't seen it, you'll love "The Crimson Permanent Assurance", a 16-minute piece of anarchic genius by Terry Gilliam, "the American Python".

You can watch it HERE.

I'm a Brit! (LOL!)



The Guardian reports that wannabe immigrants to Britain will in future have to score at least 75% on a test of Brit knowledge, including knowing what those Pythons were up to in the 70s.  Quite right too!

You can take the Brit-quiz for yourself at http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/quiz/2013/jan/27/british-citizenship-test-quiz-new.  Good luck!

[Pssssssst!  I took it, and got this result:  "You scored 10 out of a possible 10. Full marks. That is terrifically British (just so long as you don't boast about it to anyone)."]
