Now if only John Cleese, Eric Idle and Co. would perform them. Apparently a comedy group called Sketch Club will have such honor."

    .... it's not a Monty Python sketch unless the original troupe is performing it. End of story.

    That said, I wouldn't mind checking this out. :)

    Being a great Monty Python fan, and not knowing the comedy group 'Sketch Club', I am very much afraid that it will be something like Backstreet Boys singing a few newly found Beatles songs. It can never be as good as the Python boys doing Python, however hard they will try.

    you know, i would've thought that monty python, as a group, would get more respect form the people of slashdot than to reference them as cleese, idle, and co.

    terry gilliam, anybody? terry jones?

    bah...

    You are one of the unfotunates that believe this site is devoted to linux and linux users. You are wrong. As the tag line reads "News for nerds, stuff that matters." THough linux does play a large role in this site, not all nerds care about it, and it doesnt always matter.

    I'm sure that there are some nerds and techies that read /. that think Python stories matter more than linux.

    If you don't care about a story, fine, don't read or comment on it. Just don't say it shouldn't be here because it would harm the reputation of Linux.
