Free youtube movie of the day: Life of Brian

Not the Messiah!

- I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly!
- Only the true Messiah denies His divinity.

Monty Python's (whole different post) "Life of Brian" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079470/) is a grand justification to the term "British humour". Countless memorable quotes, the funniest cast that could ever exist in a movie, but beware it's as politically incorrect as it gets (not for the weak-hearted)! 

Life of Brian (part 1/9)

Beautiful photos from physical phenomena!!!
