— Terry Jones
Menu of the Green Midget Cafι recited by the waitress (Terry Jones) in TV sketch, 25th show, Monty Pythons Flying Circus (15 Dec 1970). The word spam was also repeated in a song. Terry Jones co-wrote the script with Michael Palin. The term spam in e-mail is traced back to the popularity of this skit, which deteriorated into nonsense with the excessive repetition of spam.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
