Positive Proof There is a God!!! Monty Python members plan reunion

Could British comedy group Monty Python be reuniting? It's starting to sound like it.

A spokesperson for the group told The Independent that the Pythons will be "unveiling their plans to work together again" at a Thursday press conference in London, but no other details were available yet.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, invitations to the conference were sent to reporters Tuesday: "John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin invite you to join them," said the invitation, listing the group's members. (Graham Chapman, who was also in Python, died in 1989.)

Python member Idle has been tweeting hints for a few days now, with one on Tuesday morning pointing to the press conference specifically.

Just kidding, though Cleese and Jones have done this thing where they're both being interviewed for something, and they start bickering between each other with Cleese getting really mad and Jones breaking down and crying.
