Two men who spend a lot of time (insert joke here)


Jordan notes, "Given the content of the Star Wars prequels, I find this picture
ironic and kind of fascinating."

From Yahoo, "George Lucas and ILM President Chrissie England Among Recipients of National Medals of Science and Technology at White House. Industrial Light & Magic is First Entertainment Company to Receive Nation's Highest Technology Honor.

President George W. Bush will present the National Medals of Technology and the National Medals of Science for 2004 in a White House ceremony at 10:40 a.m. (EST) on Monday, Feb. 13. Among the recipients will be Lucasfilm Ltd. founder George Lucas and Industrial Light & Magic President Chrissie England. Monday's ceremony marks the first time an entertainment company has received the National Medal of Technology. San Francisco-based Industrial Light & Magic is nominated for two Best Visual Effects Oscars at the 78th Annual Academy Awards, for its work on War of the Worlds and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
