Things I've learned from Monty Python

This is something I was thinking about in the library today when "How Do You Tell A Witch" from "The Monty Python Instant Record Collection" (taken from Holy Grail) came on my ipod. I sat there, stifling a laugh and thought "Important life lesson I learned from Monty Python: Witches burn, because they're made of wood." And while we're on the subject. Another important lesson I've learned from Monty Python: Norwegian Blue parrots stun easily!" Any important (or unimportant) lessons you learned from Monty Python?

That makes me think of We Love Sheep from Not the Messiah.

Actually, I have learned much much more than that but, that was the first thing to pp into my head.

In a similar vein, I learned that if one plough-team wants an oxen, and that oxen is lent, then the villeins and the ploughmen have to have the lord's consent.

a_nervous_wreck: I learned how to tell if your parrot is resting, or dead, but apparently it works better with Norwegian Blues

Here Comes Another One: That the Treaty of Utrecht was ratified in September 1713. And there isn't a Basingstoke in Westphalia. And there are no tigers in Africa. (well, I knew the last two, but y'know...)

I also learned that there was really a Viking battle at Malden, against the Anglo-Saxons. I didn't learn it from Python, but I remembered it because of them! And knowing that, I fell in love with them a little bit more!

razz8: You don't......

MontyPython93: That I always must look at the bright side of life... Perhaps this was a boring answer, but come on, it's true! It has helped me a lot through life :)

the_thina: I have learned 3 (2 correct and 1 non-correct) latin phrases.
me, my brother and our common friend (started as my brothers friend tho, but all his friends loves me) had a big discussion over the "romans go home" the other day. stickan wanted to know how to say it but not in presens, me and my brother was wondering if he wanted them to go home tomorrow or yesterday. haha
