Monty Python: back together?

That's right. The internet has gone into a small meltdown about the news that the Monty Python team have announced that they may once again be thinking about the possibility that they may actually get back together and try to see if they can sit down and write something that may or may not get picked up if they can still manage to create something as funny as what they did years ago when they were all still alive...

Monty Python, together again

When TV news has no vision to show for a story, they drag out stock vision that goes with what the reporter is talking about. This is otherwise known as B-Roll. Here is a great example of how B-Roll can be used for hilarious effect...

Morbid Mortality Monthly - March

Over the years, there have been fair few newspaper headlines that have stopped us in our tracks or made us splutter over tea, but none more so than "Giant Bavarian Beer Garden Sled Kills One, Injures 14"

The story behind this classic of journalism is just as ridiculous as the headline would suggest. In March 2000, more than 5,000 people gathered in the Spitzingsee region south of Munich to watch the annual sleigh race. While some compete on speed, other contestants aim to win the prize for having the most elaborately decorated sled that manages to get safely to the bottom of the ski run.

Giant Bavarian Beer Garden Sled Kills One

One entrant in the 2000 race was a giant sled built in the shape of a Bavarian beer garden. Attention to detail on the sophisticated vehicle saw it fitted with benches and beer barrels full of lager. The alcohol onboard may have played a part in the tragedy that unfurled as the sled left the top of the ski run. Its driver lost control of the Bavarian behemoth and it left the designated course, hurtling down at an accelerating speed until it crashed into a hut used by race officials.

According to Horst Hornfeck, head of the local mountain police patrol: "There were 14 people on the sleigh, but 17 were injured in total when it demolished the hut. The one man killed on the spot was a sleigh rider." As a mark of respect, the event organisers stopped any other giant beer gardens coming down the mountain for the rest of the day.

Morbid Mortality Monthly - January

Happy 2013! Everyone at And Several Butchers' Aprons hopes you had a safe New Years - one safer than that of a particular Romanian farmer. His body, naked apart from a condom, was found in his pig sty. A doctor pronounced the farmer had died from heart failure, while his family tried to explain his unusual appearance at death was down to his fondness for "pig wrestling". Well, that sounds like one euphemism for it.
