Happy Birthday to "the man with the rubber face." Rowan Atkinson turns 56 today. Although I am not that big a fan of Mr. Bean, I absolutely loved the Blackadder series and thought it was pure comedic genius. Incidentally, Hugh Laurie, whom many Americans have come to know because of the popularity of the medical drama House, was on some of the Blackadder series and was marvelous as a dimwitted royal.

Did you know...
That dolphins sleep with one eye open? I guess that is what needs to happen when you swim with the sharks.

MadTV: Arnold Parody
One of my favorite shows on television was Mad TV. Their comedy was second to none and they had excellent performers. In my opinion this show blew the doors off of Saturday Night Live. Alas, Mad TV is no longer on the air and SNL continues its existence. Anyway, here is one of my favorite skits from the show, a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger. I watch it whenever I need to laugh out loud.

It's Monday
And we all know what that means. Time for another MOTW, Manager of the Week. This next manager is a low level life-form which given a chance will purloin even the most rudimentary of thoughts from your stockpile and use them to his/her advantage at some point in time. Do not be surprised to see your ideas presented as someone else's when this manager is around.
MOTW: Cut and Paste Manager
Natural plagiarism and above average skills with a mouse are this manager’s calling card. By recurring to every fount of information available and rearranging others ruminations, pithy comments and innovative thoughts into emails and written communiqués, Cut and Paste Manager survives and flourishes by consistently producing what seem to be well researched and thought out position papers on any conceivable topic. Careful scrutiny of this manager’s output can tend to be his/her undoing as it will eventually demonstrate that not one iota of original thought or production has ever emanated from him/her. Even worse, Cut and Paste Manager has never bothered to credit or cite his/her sources.
