A Surprise Connection

I am a big fan of the Coen Brother's films, like The Big Lebowski, Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou, The Man Who Wasn't There, etc.

This weekend I watch their movie Intolerable Cruelty with YUNYUN, so I read a little bit about the Coen Brothers. Surprise, they were born in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Even more surprising, their father is Edward Coen, a retired economics professor from UofM, in other words, from my department!! We even have a fellowship in his honor.
