The Monty Python Medal
Fred Michaelson writes:
You know how when you see something for the first tenth of a second your eyes tell your brain something, but then you realize that's not what it really is? This happened to me when I read last week's E-Sylum and came upon the words Franklin-Monthyon Medal. I thought it was saying Monty Python.
I noted that "The medal was stamped with a giant cartoon foot…"
Fred adds:
I can just see it: animation about what goes on at the Mint. Wasn't that Terry Gilliam stuff great? See ya later---I've gotta go to the cheese shop and get some Venezuelan beaver cheese...
