I want to know who writes the headlines on CNN.com... - Bob Schroeck - 11-19-2013
... because he's my kind of person.
For http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/19/showbiz/u ... _inthenews]an article on a Monty Python reunion, they have "Monty Python: They're Not Dead Yet!"
And for http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/18/travel/mi ... le_sidebar]an article about flying luxury class on the Middle Eastern airlines, the header was "Sheikhs on a Plane".

I'm proud to say I once threw a Monty Python reference into an official NATO communication. A message I saw from a few years prior mentioned a local named Pero (I forget the family name). Another, more recent, message referred to someone of the same name as having died. While it wasn't of earth-shaking importance, it would be useful for the records I was organizing to know if the two men were one and the same, because if so, there'd be no expectation of further references to the first. So I e-mailed the message source, asking the question ... and then in the same e-mail I restated my inquiry as, "Is this an ex-Pero?" Alas, I never saw any indication, for good or ill, that anyone recognized the joke.

Never really got into the humour of the Python, but I do recognize some of this.
