 Marking something OT does not excuse it. It should still be related. We

I agree, adding OT shouldn't be an excuse to just post anything people want,
should it?

The URL has absolutely nothing to do with python whatsoever. At least not here
as I can view it in The Netherlands.
It's a news item about the 'rebels' in Syria who supposedly shot down this 
fighterplane.
How someone can link that to Monty Python is worth a oscar for storytelling i 
think...

At 1:00 the captor asks the pilot to state his name, then asks him to
state his quest. I was expecting the third question to be about
favourite colours or swallows.

Agreed. An incidence is not a phenomenon.

OT: Monty Python in Syria

2012-08-15 Thread Dotan Cohen
And now for something completely different.

Not programming related, but at 1:20 I was expecting a different question:
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2012/08/2012813103922872697.html

I figured if anybody could appreciate that, it would be the folks here. Enjoy!
