Go, Robot, Go!

Is it just me, or does the monkey kick the robot’s butt for most of this video? Maybe I can call Jesse Jackson’s rent-a-mob to decry this discrimination against Robotic Americans. 😉

Monkey versus Robot!
Posted at 11:33 PM on March 05, 2004

Wow. Simply astonishing. You have to see this to believe it. It’s a music video called Monkey versus Robot. Words don’t do it justice. Neither does it do words justice. What happened to conjugation? Maybe I’m being picky…

Update: The video can now be found here.

Fetch the Comfy Chair!

"NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear…fear and surprise…. Our two weapons are fear and surprise…and ruthless efficiency…. Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope…. Our *four*…no… *Amongst* our weapons…. Amongst our weaponry…are such elements as fear, surprise…. I’ll come in again." – Monty Python

The Inquisition (what a show)
The Inquisition (here we go)
We know you’re wishin’ that we’d go away.
But the Inquisition’s here and it’s here to-
"Hey Toquemada, walk this way."
"I just got back from the Auto-de-fe."
"Auto-de-fe? What’s an Auto-de-fe?"
"It’s what you oughtn’t to do but you do anyway."

On a more serious note:

This study should be interesting. Hopefully it’s balanced and fair (no Fox News pun intended).

Vatican to release study on Inquisition

The Vatican will soon publish a study on the Inquisition, containing the proceedings of an international conference held in Rome in 1998.
