I didn't think Aykroyd was that funny, but Eric Idle always gets me with the crazy eyes bit.

Seriously, shows how some people are prescient and others are, well...Fifteen years after these guys nailed it, the buzz word was "Interactive TV" where you could watch a movie and pick how it ended. ?! Every newscast talked about it, every professor taught it. No-one wanted it, no-one bought it. They missed the whole point of two-way communications and the internet.

Oooh! a computer program that can simulate a paranoid schizophrenic. I'm not saying that wouldn't be a hard program to write, but I don't know if that really passes the Turing Test...
