I am a big fan of Monty Python, have been since the very early 70's
watching the show on CBC on Wednesday nights.

Only John Cleese studied law (Cambridge.)  He just didn't practice very
much.

Graham Chapman studied medicine, also at Cambridge.  He died in 1989.

Eric Idle studied English, at Cambridge.

Terry Jones studied English, at Oxford.

Michael Palin studied history, at Oxford.

Terry Gilliam studied political science at Occidental College in
California.  He is the American in the troupe.

They are not to be taken seriously, they sure did not take themselves
seriously, but they are (were) very funny.

The difference is that I don't take Monty Python seriously.

That and the fact that the guys in Monty Python troup were all a bunch
of
very well educated geeks and lawyers who -- like Shakespeare -- reveled
in the
absurdities of life.
