Just for the record, the term "ministry," outside the U.S., has more to do
with administrative functions of government:
http://www.google.com/search?q=ministry
E.g.:
Ministry of Defence (UK, Isreal)
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Japan, Isreal
Ministry of Culture (Greece)
Ministry of Finance (Japan)
Ministry of Tourism (Egypt)
and so forth.
It's in that spirit that I think MOPP is really strong, and its value as a
reference to the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch is just a side benefit,
really.
+1 on MOPP, from an outsider.
