Active Disengagement - Calculated Loafing

Posted on August 18, 2004
In Italy,
Idleness is not a vice but a sign of intelligence. -BBC
and France,
French should eschew the Anglo-Saxon work ethic and openly embrace sloth. -NYT
The above quote from a New York Times article on French author Corinne Maier's new book "Bonjour Paresse", which translates into "Hello Laziness". I wonder whether the word "sloth" came from the animal, or was the lanky limbed tree climber named after it's apparent laziness? Either way I'm sure they would be in favour of compulsory siesta.
