Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition!
The inquisition
Here we go
The inquisition
What a show
We know you’re wishing
That we’d go awaaaay
When I was Middle School teacher of religious culture, I liked to show The Life of Brian.
When I was a kid watching Monty Python, I never “got” the Spanish Inquisition skit. I still thought it was hilarious, but I had never heard the expression “I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition” as an exasperated response to intrusive questioning from somebody.
Ironically, the real Spanish Inquisition sent letters to communities and individuals months ahead of time announcing their pending arrival and intent to dig up shit. And they didn’t bring comfy chairs or soft pillows!
Spanjsh inquisition was quite scary. Above the average violent tools at their disposal, they used many manipulative tactics that would probably go beyond that mkultra stuff for what they had at the time. If they needed a criminal they knew how to make one of a honest person.
