As a Friday afternoon diversion, you may be as intrigued as I am to see that Monty Python has a commercial success on its hands with its YouTube channel.  There you can see videos such as the following showing John Cleese and many other civil servants with their silly walks. (Tip of the hat to Michael Geist on this one)

The hope is that you will be encouraged to use a link such as the following to buy the The Ministry of Silly Walks DVD.  Via Amazon, you can also buy any other Ministry of Silly Walks paraphernalia that may take your fancy.

By the way, more recently it was noted that Mathematicians rule out Ministry of Silly Walks.  Apparently the regular walk as you might suspect is a much more efficient way of getting around. 

That is perhaps why The Sun’s recent article on John Cleese is entitled Ministry of Chilly Walks.

Actor John Cleese was spotted bundled up in his warmest winter clothes at the Sundance Film Festival in the US.  The 69-year-old Monty Python star wore a big winter hat, long coat and trendy sunglasses while walking around Park City in Utah, which is hosting the event.

.. and now back to regular programming.
