Monty Python Quiz Part Deux — the Not-Quite-So-Difficult as the Last One
Okay, I realized the other one was pretty much geek-level (when you're a geek, you don't often consider such things), SO — Part Deux deals with "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" because I figure more people have seen it than the teevee series.

Also, it's much shorter. :)



1. What needs to flap its wings 43 times per second to maintain airspeed velocity?

2. What was "just a flesh wound"?

5. What do we do with witches?

6. Logically, she's a witch if...

7. Why did the knights decide to not go to Camelot?

8. "Your mother was a _______ and your father smelt of ____________!"

9. What was the punishment at Castle Anthrax for setting alight the grail-shaped beacon?

10. And then...?

11. What sort of shrubbery did the Knights Who Say 'Ni' demand as a sacrifice?

12. "Don't like her?! What's wrong with her?! She's beautiful... she's rich... she's got ____ ______ __ ____."

13. What word could the Knights Who Say 'Ni' never hear?

14. "In the frozen land of Nador, they were forced to eat Robin's minstrels, and there was ____ _________."

15. How did the knights defeat the Rabbit of Caerbannog?

16. How did the knights defeat the Black Beast of Aaarrrrggh?

17. What is your name?

18. What is your quest?

19. What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

20. Why were the knights arrested at the end of the film?

21. Why is there no question 3 or 4?

10. 21. Why is there no question 3 or 4?
Something to do with the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?

"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out."
