John Cleese
We saw John Cleese speak at Cornell last night. He's a professor-at-large at the school, which is an honorary title they give to celebrities for a six-year term. Cleese has appartently been so successful at it that the school has extended his term by two years.
He spoke about religion, building a case from other sources, his own experience, and scenes from Life of Brian; that organized religion is essentially a tool of control. it was both funny and very inciteful. At the end he plugged a new web site to be released on his 65th birthday on the 27th.
