Walt,
I found a book, doesn't go into monty python simulations, but for anyone
who wants to understand options and the problems with the Black-Scholes
equation, and learn some theory. I haven't finished it since it could be

for both initiate and seasoned. It goes into some detail about fussing
with alternate models and how to skew...
its called...
Black-Scholes and Beyond, Option Pricing Models, by Neil A Chris
its about 50 clucks at amazon.com
