Movie buffs in Britain charged the Net to vote on the funniest movie line of all time. The winner? "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" from Monty Python's 1979 flick "Life of Brian." Brian, a man mistaken for the Messiah, had been busted by his Mum -- caught in bed with a woman. The movie claimed two other lines in the top 10. "Yea, baby!" from "Austin Powers" also finished high on the list.
