I mean, it is just as likely that after you die, you become a celestial brick for a heavenly palace, why not? It could be a number of things really if you blindly choose to allow for the supernatural and ethereal to exist despite the evidence to the contrary. Perhaps only Hell is real... perhaps the Muslims got it right, or the Zoroastrians. You could just as easily reincarnate into a slug. What makes you so sure that within this unlikely realm of a myriad possibilities, your baseless assumption is correct?

InformationIsTheEdge True. Guess you could compare them somewhat to the beatles. A relatively short period of all working together and creating something new. Then getting the feeling it's time for each to set his own course - with success in a various range of fields (Palin: documentaries, Cleese: fawlty towers and movies, the Terry's: directing movies and series, Idle: got on well with his music), and a tragic death (Graham Chapman). And for all their sarcasm, they still get along - got the impression even Cleese toned down on the cynical part lately.

I love how you can see when his name is called that he genuinely is displeased; he really didn't think he should be the one to earn this award. That kind of attitude is fantastic; no arrogance, no prideful ego. More actors need to be like this man right here.

@@RuefulCenturion Improv would actually be more impressive. I mean, memorizing dialogue/speeches&text is a central skill of any actor and can be trained, however, improvising is hard if not impossible to learn, either you do have that gift or your don't. And in this case it also had to be funny.

His mentioning the "unknown soldier" brought back a memory of some decades ago, from "my old country" ( somewhere in the bottom pit of Europe). There were these two rascals, both in their early 20's, who went door to door, seeking donations for the MOTHER of THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER!!! They had the whole spiel worked out: "The mother of our ONLY (!?!) unknown soldier today lives in poverty, in a rundown basement, with no heat and only occasional use of electricity. It is our duty, as true patriots, to do all we can to help this heroic old lady get her life back on track again. That's the least we can do to repay her for her immense sacrifice. Can you please donate any amount for this noble cause?" I never found out if they got rich.
