[Vision2020] Friday Follies

[Kenneth Marcy]

Perhaps it was just Friday the thirteenth.  Or something else.

Yesterday's first e-mail from the University of Idaho's Office of the 
President announcing the appointment of John M. Weincek as Provost and 
Executive Vice President began

Bacon ipsum dolor sit amet sausage turducken prosciutto pork venison 
filet mignon swine fatback.

and included a suggested e-mail address of noreply at uidaho.edu in the 
message heading.

The first e-mail was followed nine minutes later with another one 
amended to replace the Bacon ipsum line with

New Provost and Executive Vice President Appointment Announced

but retained the noreply e-mail address, and omitted an illustrative 
photograph of the appointee.

Since inquiring minds want to know, I typed John M. Weincek into 
Google's Image Search interface, and received many responses, two of 
which were:

http://www.t4dev.vcu.edu/provost-dev/homepage/about/

showing him as he appeared in an interim provost position in Virginia, 
and a page showing him as he appeared when he won a faculty award in Iowa.

Whether his change of the side of his hair part has any cause of 
interesting substance, or only a random one of idle speculation, such as 
an inter-generational virus vectored through Jimmy Carter, may be a 
matter for the future to reveal.  Or not, since it was just Friday the 
thirteenth.
