ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** 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. visit www.flaminglips.com for more -- Ben Randell Program Specialist Science City @ Union Station E-mail: [log in to unmask] Phone: 816.460.2018 Check out the goings on at Union Station Kansas City at www.unionstation.org ------------------- 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 *********************************************************************** More information about the Informal Science Education Network and the Association of Science-Technology Centers may be found at http://www.astc.org.
