The Prophecies of Monty Python

"I'm a one-issue guy. I'm about stem cells," [Michael J.] Fox told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch earlier this month....

Anybody remember that scene in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, where the Catholic father came home and announced that the kids were about to be shipped off to the science lab as guinea pigs: "My mind's made up. It's medical experiments for the lot of you!"

Who would have thought that Michael J. Fox -- freaking Marty McFly, for cryin' out loud! -- would be walking into an IVF clinic, looking at the frozen embryos, and saying, "My mind's made up. It's medical experiments for the lot of you!"

Somebody needs to capture this moment.
