Amazing Mr. Bean

Rowan Atkinson was actually a PhD student in Oxford University (Electrical Engineering).. I never knew if he actually got his PhD or not... Anyone knows?

All the english comedians (of the old days) had some sort of educational background.

The guys in Monty Python were all doctors.

IMDB says he was born in Newcastle, therefore is a Geordie.

Well, he's not quite BJ's cousin, think he's his dad's cousin but still, a vague claim to fame... Also I used to go to footie training with that young fella who was in the England squad and the Welsh took the piss out of - Mathew Tait. Yeah, you gotta love those vague claims to fame...

I went to cubs with Mathew and the now celebrity BJ went to school with him.

I can see a who has the most useless claim to fame thread.

BJ doesn't see him much, if at all so I can't get you an autograph.

That's just too bad, piggie... Anyhow, does anyone know if Rowan actually obtained his PhD.. I'm just curious... If indeed he had, then I'll just have to call him Dr. Bean..
