Ha! But you've got it all wrong.

Rick is geeky. Guido is *gawky* (and proud of it.)

heh, this could come in handy if some day guido is attempting
to break out of prison and needs to get a picture of some
celebrity to use for a fake id card.

although i guess it could work the other way around too,
if rick is ever imprisoned.

Guido is not Rick Moranis because Rick is too short. Guido is
secretly Arnold Schwarzenegger. Here's a picture from the
PythonLabs 2.1 Release Party, smuggled out by a concerned insider and
secretly posted on a Schwarzenegger tribute page:

They are dressed as Vikings and are singing the "Spam" song from the
classic Monty Python sketch. That's Tim on the right, and (I've been
told) Barry on the left, before he cut off his rock star hair. Of
course, Guido gets the big hat. Fred and Jeremy, drank a little too
much of the "Snake Juice" and were... indisposed.

ALERT ALERT ALERT to *ALL* PSU Operatives!

Why did this message slip through our PSU Usenet Snipper? I just read
this on a public Usenet feed! This is unallowable! People will be on
to our conspiracy soon. I've been doing a good job defusing the rumors
in the past, but if this keeps up we'll need the time machine *again*
-- we'll stretch the space-time continuum so thin we don't even have
to worry anymore about nanoviruses that eat our whitespace; it'll just
spontaneously evaporate!

The Rick Moranis thing was a level 5 secret, right up there with the
identity of the fourth official bot. This is extremely serious!

Ah... I just heard a worm took our Usenet Snipper offline temporarily.
They've fixed it now, and we

That's odd... Either that wasn't the 2.1 release party, or that wasn't Barry
I met at the Python conference, or someone's been joyriding in the time
machine again! I suspect the latter, since the Barry on the picture looks
more like the Barry after he will had done his sex-change operation (or is
that, 'will be have hadding' ? English multiflux temporal grammar never was
my strong point.)

Tim looks more like Fred as well, in that picture, but I guess that's just a
trick of the light.
