A Peculiar Observation

[lotesse]

made whilst watching "Python" when I should, in fact, be asleep.

Not only does the "aliens turning people into scotsmen" sketch begin with what is very nearly the exact text as the first Harry Potter book--perfectly normal people, wouldn't think that anything odd or unusual would ever happen to them--one of the main characters is named Harold Potter.

Yes, indeed, Harold Potter. You all know what this means--clearly all of the Potterverse is merely scammed off of "Monty Python"!

No, but really, what a peculiar coincidence. I completely love every part of it.

Am now having very silly visions of Draco Malfoy or --Christ!-- Snape, suddenly walking off into the sunset bekilted and with one arm upraised to the sound of bagpipes. Should probably sleep more.

Also, I just realized that I get six whole icons! Yay more icon space!

Hang on what? Did I miss something? What miners? /total dope.

Thirteen miners were trapped in a mine in West Virginia recently. Only one was rescued alive. CNN reported a rumor that they'd heard as if it were the gospel truth: twelve alive, only one dead. Dad and I watched them create information out of thin air based on this rumor for a whole hour before I gave up and went to bed. Then this morning I heard the truth. CNN can go take a running jump.
