Well, I did not need his help.  This was my Thank-you card to you all:  http://www.care2.com/send/pickup/1194-6078-18554-9926 

So, the first person (Wolfgang, you are included) who can give me the name of the snake, get's a Kiva Loan from me.  Jane.

That snake wouldn't be MOnte would it?

You bet your Bippy!!!  Let me know your loan ... if the name has THON in it, I might have to give you a gift certificate.  Thanks.  Jane. Hats off to you!

Jane,

Group loans aren't so popular, but Paraguay offers short term loans (often 4 months) AND almost instant disbursement.  If you catch this in time to get into a quicker turn around, take advantage of

otherwise it will be

I went with your second choice, since the first one seems to be doing O.K.  If you need any Monty Python clips that are really funny, just do a search on "Dead parrot".  It's hilarious. Jane.

Congratulations, Colette,
this time you beat me to it.
And thanks to you, Jane,
for this nice Thank-you-Card - I love the song (and the movie it's from and basically most Monty Python-Stuff).

This gives me an idea... if it's alright for you, Jane, I would love to "capture" this thread and start a quiz of my own - the prize (once more) is a $25-Kiva-loan by me in the winner's name (certain restrictions apply). The first one to answer all five questions correctly will win:

1. What is not a palindrome of Bolton?

2. Which modern nuisance derives its name - arguably - from a Python sketch - and why?

3. Name the composer thought to be the greatest in German baroque - at least by the Pythons.

4. A famous non-Python author contributed to the Flying Circus and starred in 2 episodes. According to him, what's the answer?

5. True or false: Two extra episodes of the Flying Circus were filmed in German.

Good luck!
Take care,
Wolfgang.

Wolfgang! Monty Python is certainly not my domain to keep!  As we say in Canada, fill your boots. Hciwspi!  Jane.

2. is Spam.

4. is Douglas Adams.  The answer is 42, of course.
