An Indianapolis radio station spoke to him this morning (heard it on my way to school) about the book. When they asked about George Harrison financing Life of Brian, I love how Palin responded that when Harrison was asked why he put up the millions of pounds for the production, his answer was a very dry, "I wanted to see the movie."

Life of Brian is playing on the big screen down here in a few weeks.

We saw Holy Grail at a local Imax theatre a while back, but I haven't seen Life of Brian on the big screen since right after it originally came out.

I can imagine one of the early entries reading something like, "How odd. This morning I ate at a small diner and all the breakfast dishes featured Spam. God, I loathe Spam!"

:-) What I've picked up from other behind-the-scenes interviews is that any of the list-oriented sketches or parts were from Cleese/Chapman (Cheese Shop, for example), while a lot of the more surreal ones came from Palin/Jones, so it wouldn't surprise me.
