Monty Python and the scientific method

closeHey, just so you know ... this post is now about 11 years and 7 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

Last week my daughter came home from school talking about Monty Python. It turned out that her science teacher showed her class the witch sequence from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” as an example of applying the scientific method.

This seemed like another opportunity to share a piece of my movie nerd youth with her (like Star Wars, TRON, and Indiana Jones), so on Saturday we sat down and watched “Holy Grail” together. I was wondering how she’d “take” to it, but once the opening credits started (“A møøse once bit my sister …” and Ralph the Wonder Llama) she was laughing and I knew this was going to be a hit.

The one part she didn’t like? The ending. But I can’t fault her for that since I’ve never been that fond of it either. Of course, now we’ve had to deal with her quoting the movie all weekend. I guess that’s genetic. 😀
