Is this the "New Era"?

What the... How did I not register that that's Idle and Palin doing Lunkwill and Fook, back when watching the series.
 
Next Era will have the Infinite Improbability Drive.

Just watch out for sperm whales falling from the sky... or flower pots. There's a probability for either... or not.

Someone should've told the whale how to fly: just miss the ground.
 
I ways find it slightly disconcerting how people idolise Spartans. I mean. They do so in English - which is derived from Latin, not Greek.

Because the Spartans lost their battle with the Romans and got integrated into the Roman empire. It might have helped if they'd treated the Helots and others a little better. But probably not. The Romans had technology (relatively speaking), Tactics and numbers on their side. The Spartans found out the being a hard, tough person is less help than being a metallurgist, military strategist or politician. Clever gets you through "not tough" better than "Tough" gets you through "Not clever".

Wouldn't that be great.
If they'd implement that I'd heavily invest in the tea market for sure!

Just watch out the rampaging mob of theoretical physicists who've just worked out that the one thing they really can't stand is a smart-asp.

(honestly, I can't say "Bottom" now?)

It's mostly bearded half-naked men dieing at a chokepoint battle being glorified.
