Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 21 [take my bug, please] According to Michael Palin (on David Letterman) the original title of "The Meaning of Life" was "The Fish Film". I believe it was originally going to be an examination of human behaviour from a fish's-eye-view (those fishies in the aquarium). He also expressed great fondness for a sketch from the old TV series called "The Fish Dance". And now for something completely different. I haven't seen Spinal Tap yet, just opened today, but has anyone seen The Rutles? It's a "documentary" by Eric Idle about Dirk, Barry, Nasty and Stig, The Pre-Fab four. Four working class lads from Liverpool who skyrocketed to worldwide obscurity. It was originally a BBC special several years ago, it played on Cinemax recently (around the time of all the 20th anniversary Beatles hype). Great stuff, music was by Neil Innes and several Pythons quest starred, also George Harrison. Don't miss it if you get the chance. >From the accounting deptartment of The Crimson Permanent Assurance, Ron Hitchens hitchens@ut-sally.UUCP -----------------------------------------------
