      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I always thought the first name connection was dicey.

                That almost made up for that alumnus bullshit.

                  One of the authors of that book produced the show Blackadder, and the other wrote QI (Quite Interesting), one of the best British TV shows. In fact, if you like the book, it's worth watching a few QI's on YouTube - apart from anything else, the original presenter Stephen Fry is great.

                  I was only joking
