Monty Python’s version of medicalised birth

Monty Python’s classic sketch on hospital birth – The Miracle of Birth. A holiday treat for Easter.

@minhabarrigadiz: Thanks! Do you think my book should be translated into Portugese? I would do it if I could market it in Brazil. 08:44:10 6 Jul 2010 from TweetDeckin reply to minhabarrigadiz
