And you've still got to say whether it's an African of European Swallow.

The article does reach a solid conclusion of the unladen flightspeed of the Unladen European Swallow.

Well, I for one shall sleep safely tonight knowing that if I am challenged by an old man from scene 24, I shall be able to answer his five questions.

You're quite right. The title of this thread is a typographical error. If a moderator would care to correct that, it would be much appreciated.

Ah, yes, but you forget, the old man in scene 24 was thrown into the Gorge of Eternal Peril because he didn't know whether it was an African or European swallow.

And you call yourself a british. With that lack of attention to minute details in Monty Python movies, how can you ever expect the Moose Rebellion to defeat the armies of Crook and Zeelich, no less storm the gates of SD.Net?

Oh, please, with the miracles of clowning and Monty Python Unit Generation technology reaching their pinnacle, the day when an armada of undead old men from scene 24 will attempt to take back what is rightfully theirs is not too far off. And if you were referring to the fact that I said five instead of three, then it was so that someone could say three questions. Which they did. And I was well pleased.

At last count, on a dull day at work over the summer, I was able to repeat the Holy Grail script exactly. So there.
