*Henry Kissinger
How I'm missing yer
You're the Doctor of my dreams
With your crinkly hair and your glassy stare

And your machiavellian schemes
I know they say that you are very vain
And short and fat and pushy but at least you're not insane
Henry Kissinger

How I'm missing yer
And wishing you were here

Henry Kissinger
How I'm missing yer
You're so chubby and so neat
With your funny clothes and your squishy nose

You're like a German parakeet
All right so people say that you don't care
But you've got nicer legs than Hitler
And bigger tits than Cher

Henry Kissinger
How I'm missing yer
And wishing you were here*

The other day, a non-technical colleague said to me, "You're a #Python expert, aren't you?" I felt I had to correct him since I have only dabbled with the #language and I said that I'm more accustomed to scientific programming in #C or #Fortran. He looked a bit bemused, in hindsight, I'm not surprised as I've never talked to him about computing before. He then said "No, I meant #MontyPython." Well, modesty aside, I said that I'm probably the most expert person there and so our conversation continued on a more humorous subject.

A new study has explored this idea via a pair of gaits exhibited in a famous Monty Python sketch, and found that by adopting this kind of ridiculous walking style for just 11 minutes a day, adults can reach their physical activity targets and lower their risk of mortality.

The walking styles in question were performed by Mr Teabag and My Putey, characters played John Cleese and Michael Palin, in the 1971 Monty Python sketch “Ministry of Silly Walks." For sports science researchers at Arizona State University, these provided the perfect vehicle to test the disparity in energy expenditure of silly saunters and a regular, efficient way of walking.

I love this stuff. Inefficiency for the win. At times.
