OT: Monty Python in Syria

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!

For context, start the video at 1:00.

Please don't shout, please don't top post and what gives you the right
to determine what is or is not on topic here? The subject is also
clearly marked OT or did that escape your attention?

agreed.

The same right as anyone.

But it has nothing to do with Monty Python either, that I can see.
Nor is there a video to see the context of (OP said "For context, start
the video at 1:00.") Perhaps link is erroneous.

Marking something OT does not excuse it. It should still be related. We
cannot allow 1000s of OT posts a day, marked OT or not.

Then I humbly suggest you re-watch The Holy Grail.

P.S. - There is certainly a video. It just takes an obnoxiously long
time to load.

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.
