"comedian." (But I love it!)
Ed Sullivan was famously known as a "talker." What were his last words to the Beatles after their last performance on his program?
"Person, woman, man, camera, TV"
After successfully replacing Pete Best with Ringo, the boys briefly toyed with the idea of adding a fifth, female Beatle on vocals, saxophone & percussion for additional multigendered appeal, but ultimately decided against it. Why didn't they go through with it?

Offline Ringo Starr played the part of the undertaker who collects Michael Palin's body at the end of the sketch. He was reprising his role as the undertaker in the symbolic and iconic march across Abbey Road on the Abbey Road album cover (John = priest, Ringo = undertaker, Paul = dead, George = gravedigger). However, it was cut, as the Pythons usually never formally ended any of their sketches, but simply rolled into the next one.
During the White Album recording sessions, why was Ringo's drum kit covered in flowers one day?

What did John claim he would have been if he hadn't become successful in music?
John said he would've been an idiot; probably the one in the Village.
What was Paul implying when he said John hadn't been successful in music?

Offline In most seasons, naturally harvested aquatic deep-sea hams flourished in octopus' gardens off the American coast...until the historic Underwater Ham Famine of 1962-3 rendered those years' crops almost entirely unusable.
Inspired by their own successful acorn campaign/art statement, johnandyoko briefly launched an off-offshoot of Zapple called Acorn Records. What sort of sounds was this label intended to document?
One day, a tape-op got a tape on backwards, he went to play it, and it was all "Neeeradno-undowarrroom" and it was "Wow! Sounds Indian!"
