And now for something completely scandalous?

Monty Python alum Terry Jones is causing a stir in his native Britain after splitting with his missus of 35 years and impregnating his 26-year-old lover.

According to the U.K.'s Daily Mirror, the 67-year-old Jones and girlfriend Anna Soderstrom are expecting their first child in about six months. The couple reportedly met four years ago when the funnyman paid a visit to Oxford for a book signing. That spelled the end of his three-decade union with wife Alison, with whom Jones has two adult children.

To paraphrase the old Python tune, every sperm is sacred...and apparently still potent.
