My site has become a tad serious of late, so in an effort to lighten the mood may I present Monty Pythons’ Masochistic Monks…
No matter how many times I watch this, it never fails to make me laugh – even surpasses the Two Ronnies ‘Fork Handles’ sketch…!
Somewhat scarily this is based on real flagellants who purify themselves through pain? to get closer to God and Jesus (eg Silas in ‘The DaVinci Code’).
I’m a big believer in ‘No gain without pain’, but Religion… you couldn’t make it up hey…?
Enjoy…
Oh… wouldn’t want to be accused of bias against Christians, so here’s a nice stoning too…
