A couch potato watching the BBC/A&E documentary on the crusades (hosted by Terry Jones of Monty Python fame no less) would learn in roughly four hours of frivolous tsk-tsk-ing that the peaceful Muslim world actually learned to be warlike from the barbaric western crusaders.

Well, who would have thunk that writing comedy skits anout killer sheep and dead parrots didn't make one an expert historian?

Actually, they really had good writers who seemed quite knowledgeable about history. The Oliver Cromwell song or Decomposing Composers or the ditty about all the drunken philosophers, and the tune about the galaxy (all of these songs btw committed to memory and trotted out to regale me on long car trips by my seventeen year old) are quite informative, historically accurate and funny.
