I do enjoy silliness like this.

That just totally rocks! Kinda like Harrison Ford having a spider named after him or Gary Larson having a species of lice named after him. Too, too cool!

That is just too cool. And maybe it's just the geek in me, but I find that more impressive than being knighted.

I agree! And since species names are nigh unto immortal (even past extinction: a real likelihood with a lemur), Cleese will never be forgotten even after all his films have vanished. I *like* it!
