Look guys. We’ve been coddling our duck types too long. Its time to give them the tough love they need. A little cartoon violence against ducks never hurt any actual ducks.

If anything, bringing an end to all these simian metaphors should be our top priority, VMs and language enhancements be damned!

Monty Python was not a guy, it was a group of guys.

Sage: Haha! That is hilarious! You must be a Python programmer, because you guys always get the last laugh. Thankyou for that.

But, seriously, how could we forget Monty Python’s enchanting role as Coach Buttermaker, star of The Bad News Bears. Don’t believe everything you read on Wikipedia, guys. ;)
