invisibleairwaves Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I haven't seen the TV series (yet), so the number is from "And now for something completely different", the movie. I was not aware that there were two different numbers, otherwise I wouldn't have posted that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool - Maybe a new question might be the best thing, bercause I'm fairly sure 40 is the answer from the TV series, I haven't got "And now.....", so I've got no way of checking.

invisibleairwaves Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I would post a new question, but I can't think of any. Someone else can have a turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afansince74 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Well, I found this paragraph at the end of the "And Now for Something Completely Different" section of my Monty Python Encyclopedia while trying to find a movie transcript for the previous question and I thought it was interesting. It says that Terry Jones ran re-edit after re-edit in test screenings of that movie, and no matter what order he put the skits in, laughs tended to trail off at about the same time! He concluded that all people have a "Python threshhold" of only so many minutes. That could be a question... Anyone want to guess (in 10 minute increments) how long the "Python threshold" is?

afansince74 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Well, guess not! Terry Jones found that no matter what order he put the skits in, laughs tended to trail off at about 50 minutes every time and thus concluded all people have a 50 minute "Python threshhold." Someone else want to ask a question next, I gotta get to work now! If not, I'll put one up later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay with us! Oh, this is one of my favs on vinyl. It would be from "The Album Of The Soundtrack Of The Trailer Of The Film Of Monty Python And The Holy Grail" and is the 'commentary' at the end of the "witch" sketch by the Proffesional Logician. "Good evening. The last scene was interesting from the point of view of a professional logician because it contained a number of logical fallacies; that is, invalid propositional constructions and syllogistic forms, of the type so often committed by my wife."

I just love it! Correct, of course This is an absolutely true story - I first picked up that album on vinyl in about '81 (I actually heard the record befoe seeing the film!!). In '82, I did philosophy in college, and logic was the first area wee studied. One week in, we actually were told that "universal affirmatives are only partially convertible". I damn near wet myself. That Christmas, I got 24/25 in my logic question in the end of term exams, my answer was based TOTALLY on that sketch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
