a really easy question

For a sappy picture, see the entry I just put up a few minutes ago.

And now for something completely different...

I have a question. I tried Googling it and it didn't work too well, and I'm too lazy/tired/mentally spent to work too hard for an answer. What the heck is meant by the phrase "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition"? I know it's from Monty Python but it's passed into common use and I don't know enough about the original context to understand the reference. At least I'm cool enough to ask about things I don't know, right? can I get a little credit for that, even if I'm apparently the only person on the planet who is ignorant on this particular issue?
