What was Monty Python named after?
I think it got inspired by our lord and savior Brian
his parents i think
"Monty" was selected (Eric Idle's idea) as a gently mocking tribute to Field Marshal Lord Montgomery, a British general of World War II; requiring a "slippery-sounding" surname, they settled on "Python". Flying Circus stuck when the BBC explained it had printed that name in its schedules and was not prepared to amend it.
Monty Python was named after Monty Python was named after Monty Python was named after..
Based on this post it seems M. Python is the scientific name for the Ouroboros
Then what is M. Bison the scientific name for?
Raul Julia, of course
The Red Baron.
It's named after the python language, obviously. Nothing beats recursive referencing.
