The Monty Python alum went viral with his depressingly honest response to a tweet on X asking users to 'without Googling, name something USA invented.'

Monty Python alum Eric Idle usually has us in stitches with his genius schtick, but his brutally honest response to a recent tweet last week is depressingly accurate.

The comedy legend replied to a prompt by @gunsnrosesgirl3 that posed:


"Without Googling, name something USA invented."

The comedian, who typically has us looking "on the bright side of life," bluntly yet genuinely responded:

"Mass school shootings...?"

And people who saw Idle's reply agreed.











There were a couple, however, who responded with "something completely different."


To them we offer our thoughts and prayers.

Conservative Tries To Claim Disney+ Show Is Somehow Satanic Due To Joke—And Gets Instantly Fact-Checked

It's the holidays again, which of course means the yearly tradition of Christians having a meltdown about supposedly being persecuted by the existence of non-Jesusy Christmas stuff is back with a vengeance.

But the latest flap online is really a doozy in its audacity both because it's incredibly dumb and also a lie, obviously posted as a purposeful attempt to get attention.

Massachusetts Catholic Church Angers Conservatives With Its Brutal ICE-Themed Nativity Scene

The Christian Bible teaches that the Holy Family—Joseph, Mary, and Jesus—were residents of the Herodian ruled Nazareth, Galilee. Having traveled back to Joseph's ancestral home—Roman ruled Bethlehem, Judea—for the census, Mary and Joseph, in modern American parlance, would have been homeless immigrants/tourists having an "anchor baby" at the time of Jesus' birth.
