I haven't kept up with this thread all that well, but I was reminded of 
it when listening to the Flaming Lips album "Clouds Taste Metallic" the 
other day.  Many of the Flaming Lips songs deal with the reaches of 
science, ethics and the future among other things.  Please note:  They 
might be considered "weird" by most. 

Here are the lyrics to a couple songs off that album:

Guy Who Got A Headache and Accidentally Saves The World

Magnified up close, in pickle jar
is the last hope the world has... Yeah ... Yeah

Thinkin that his head surely would explode
His thoughts go deeper than ever... yeah... yeah

Something never dreamed in all the science books
the biggest light switch gets turned on yeah.. yeah

And he's on the way to a real first in all the universe yeah.. yeah
He saves the day and the world knows, the sonic boom explodes

Hesitant to tell the real reason, the Nobel Prize is given-Yeah-
It's hard to celebrate with a headache Oh Yeah... Yeah

And he's on the way to the real first in all the universe Yeah... Yeah
And he saves the day and the world knows. Now watch his head explode

When You Smile

It's like I never had to see it in your eyes or feel it
I could tell when you smile.
It's like I didn't need to say anything or do much, I could tell
when you smile
All of the subatomic pieces come together and
unfold themselves in a second...
every single molecule is right, when
all of the subatomic pieces come together and unfold
themselves in a second.

-------------------
If one cannot state a matter clearly enough so that even an intelligent 
twelve-year-old can understand it, one should remain within the 
cloistered walls of the university and laboratory until one gets a 
better grasp of one's subject matter.

-- Margaret Mead
