But Palin, we hardly knew ya

I'm constantly amazed at what can be found on the 'Net, wondrous, enlightening, funny or insipid. One of the wondrous things that's really come to my attention has to be former Monty Python member Michael Palin's travel adventures, all available for free on the net for viewing, but not quite for download. Palin spends merely a few hours in Singapore on his round-the-world in 80 days trip, but does learn from a couple of Indian folks that Singaporeans "work hard" and that "nobody cheats". He does spend mere miliseconds in Singapore and - heavens - sees some litter and drunks, which he thought weren't allowed on our streets, before he boards a launch to continue his Phileas Fogg imitation. Not terribly exciting, and we hope when he returns he'll have more time for tea at the Raffles and reenact his Dead Parrot sketch at Jurong Bird Park.
