Oh, by the way, there was an interview in this morning's Toronto Globe and Mail with John Cleese (dead tree version only, it appears). Apparently in 1915 Mr. Cleese's father changed the family name to "Cleese" from "Cheese", bwaaahahahaaa...
P.S. my great-great-great uncle, George Brown, one of the Fathers of Confederation (like your Founding Fathers) founded the Globe newspaper, which eventually became the Globe and Mail. All the dough on that side of the family never got near me. He also founded what became the Liberal Party of Canada (now run by yuchhh Chrétien) and I hope he's spinning in his grave watching their antics over the last 40 years.
