Personally, I wasn't impressed with the sounds generated. It sounded too much like midi files of which can be generated by many programs, like SimTunes and Hyperscore.
You might want to get a headstart on that crow soup. I just watched the scene with Tim the Enchanter and no John Cleese beyond Tim. Also, no listing of Billy Connelly in the credits.
Well deserved taunts. My last sentence was less cynical than it may sound. Considering that Graham Chapman, aka King Arthur, is dead and that Monthy Python is not a creative force anymore (my opinion), I do agree that it is a rip off, however a lovingly one.
Either that or this is a taunt! You silly English ka nig its.
As some of the other posters pointed out, it's a reoccuring gag throughout the movie. The scene you're talking about is with a bridgekeeper where they knights have to answer 3 questions correctly to cross. The gag about the air velocity of a swallow is another one like this.
How do you know so much about swallows?
Too late, for now. It played in Chicago prior to moving to New York. It was a short run, the month of February if I recall correctly. I walked by the theater it played at a couple of times a week. Tickets were difficult to come by.
Not the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expects the Spanish Inquistion. Actually it's from the scene with the Holy Handgranade. King Arthur would begin continue to 3 and would always miss 3. As in 1, 2, 4. Then someone would say '3 sir'.
'ripped off'? Didn't most of the living cast support Spamalot? And last time I checked, Eric Idle,Dead Collector/Peasant 1/Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Launcelot/Roger the Shrubber, was the driving force behind it...Yeah I guess it was ripped off!

You'll notice the airfield still seems operational in downtown Chicago... And you can see the construction going on in Solider Field!
dang. got confused between kids and smokes. that should be 'cartons' not 'cartoons'! and this may only apply to Illinois. There was a case in the past few years her in Ill. where an adult did get into trouble for distributing alcohol to minors. He claimed that the parents give him permission for their kids to drink with his kid at his house... The big issue was that the parents did say it was ok, but they claimed it was only for one time but thatthe drinking occured multiple times. Or something like that...
No. Parents can also give their children alcohol and tobacco products legally. And they can administer alcohol to other children IF the other children's parents give their assent. Sort of like a 12 year old going to a 'R' rated movie would require parent/legal guardian's permission. I would believe this should apply to the proposed law. When I worked in a gas station in the 1980's some guy came in with his two kids, defintely under the age of 10, and let them pick out two cartoons of smokes. Then he bought them. Nothing I could do because HE paid for them, not the kids. I believe more parents need to know what their kids are into, unfortunately this seems to be the only way to get attention to the matter. But, and this will probably draw some fire, I believe as a society we're responsible to some degree for protecting the childen. Just like this proposed law can lead down the slippery slope of censorship, if we don't watch over these things, where does it stop on the other end? If they can get mature video games, why not mature videos? And how do you rate mature? Should they be able to watch nudity or sex? Or snuff films for that matter? As for where I stand on this... I disagree with it because of this statement: "I don't believe that my 8-year-old daughter has a constitutional right to cut somebody's head off in a game...". If I as a parent decides she / he does, the government does not have the right to stop it. On the other hand, the 8 year old shouldn't be buying video games by themselves (my opinion). PARENTS need to make themselves aware of what their kids are into. If you are too busy to pay attention to them now, why have them in the first place?
There is not enough valid information about the pictures to come up with a sound answer. Although I tend to agree with posts along the lines of the most obvious explanation is probably the correct answer(Occam's razor).
The path at the water is not straight. If you follow the trajectory in a straight line, it should end up closer to the middle point between the 2 poles. It goes 90 degrees just before hitting / leaving the water.
I agree. I zoomed in on the where the bright spot and it appear to be behind and slighly to the right of the pole. Not like it hit the pole, but the 'flash' simply covering up the outline of the pole. The 'flash' maybe the spray of water coming up from an object that hit the water. Perhaps a diving bird of some sort? Another interesting point, the end of the streak appears to curve rapidly downward at the end. It is not a straight line into the water.
I'm on the side that doesn't like the new format. The first thing I found is that the thread view is missing. Now it just gives you the entire thread without the outlining the different posts. You can't jump to a particular post in the thread anymore.
"Apparently, they walked across the Bering Strait during a period of severe drought in Central Asia..." Not necessarily completely true. There's an issue with clovis tools. Seems that these clovis tools keep showing up early in history than they ought to and they can't track them back over the Bering Strait path.

I've been working with outsourcing for over a year and 1/2 now. We've been talking about how we should move to some rural area with low taxes, property values, and housing costs for a year now. It just makes sense IF you can get quality individuals working for you. And it will happen more frequently as fed up highly talented individuals get tired of the rat race and decide to move somewhere, uh, less rat racy. I know of one person on the team who now works from Idaho after moving from Chicago. Do the math, Idaho cost of living is < Chicago and they experienced no pay decreases! Another person moved from Chicago to rural Wisconsin and kept the same pay. If the company is willing, you'll see a migration from the cities to the small towns over the next few years. I personally think it's great. The 80's and 90's were an era of migration from these rural areas where the jobs had been drying up rapidly (I'm a case in point, couldn't get a job in my hometown doing what I do, still can't). Hopefully that trend will reverse somewhat. America is loosing it's small town / rural heritage and I believe that heritage is part of what made America a great place in the first place.
A lot of these items were not technology related. Slipcovers for coats and purses @ resturants? Nice, but I'm not counting that as points to superior technology. Gotta admit that stoplight timer technology sounds good.

Whatever their failings, the Electric Universe people have the best astronomical picture gallery [thunderbolts.info] on the web.
ummmm, that's arguable. Check out APOD.

The path at the water is not straight. If you follow the trajectory in a straight line, it should end up closer to the middle point between the 2 poles. It goes 90 degrees just before hitting / leaving the water.
Next question: is it an object hitting the water or leaving the water? Has anyone seen a picture of a missle being launched from beneath water?
I agree. I zoomed in on the where the bright spot and it appear to be behind and slighly to the right of the pole. Not like it hit the pole, but the 'flash' simply covering up the outline of the pole. The 'flash' maybe the spray of water coming up from an object that hit the water.

there must be google spys in our midst. Start using the /. code words. :-)
