Today in History: Monty Python

On this day (May 11) in 1969, Monty Python formed. They'd go on to bring us a great comedy show and movies such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Life of Brion, and Monty Python and the Meaning of Life. I have such great memories watching these with my friends growing up and always get a thrill when I see one of the cast moving on to other projects such as Eric Idle in Nuns on the Run, Terry Jones with his wonderfully absurd Starship Titanic and popular histories such as Medieval Lives and Barbarian Lives, and of course John Cleese in Fawlty Towers, Time Bandits, and A Fish Called Wanda.
