"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Very sad thing to happen to such an intelligent man. And he's still relatively young like poor old Terry Pratchett. It's very sad. :(

Did anyone watch his Barbarians series? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Jones%27_Barbarians I watched it, and it combined humour with serious some historical research. It was very well presented.
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

I caught the Barbarians a while back and loved it. He's done another on the Middle Ages and also, IIRC, the Crusades. It is indeed sad and cruel for such a brilliant mind to fade away trapped behind progressive aphasia.
