Something I Never Realized

In the movie Spaceballs the antagonist is President Skroob. Skroob is an anagram for Brooks.
Congratulations. You've just learned another useless tidbit of trivia you can share with your poker buddies.

Now if you want something useful...

If you need me, I'll be in the general area...

A few years ago I did some ac work for AEP. The guy I met on site looked like Rick Moranis' twin. He had a dark colored hard hat and attached a sunshade that went around the brim... unintentional or not, I had to fight laughter all day. This is almost exactly what he looked like:

I know he disappeared from acting sometime later. Day job as a substation service tech???
 
They explained the name as
'Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic'
and so denied the IBM version. A weird official explanation, well then...
 
The one thing I love about Spaceballs is how no one swears (maybe they do and I need to rewatch it) throughout the whole movie and then 2 minutes from the ending you get "out of order!?...." "...FUCK!" - the most perfectly timed "fuck" in cinematic history.
