Tom Lehrer. I don't believe I've had the pleasure. Very clever lyrics in that little ditty.

I wonder if he is related to Jim Lehrer?
He was a math professor at Harvard, and later at UC Santa Cruz.

I discovered Tom Lehrer during my formative years, and haven't been the same since. I have him to blame for all that's wrong!

I know a bunch of his songs "by heart", and will break out a'cappella into something appropriate for the occasion, much to my wife's embarrassment. Once-in-a-while, someone will join in, which usually surprises the heck out of me. However, I then know I have a true kindred spirit, and sometimes become fast friends. Those present excluded, of course, I have some strange friends!

All good fun............

For some clever lyrics, set to Gilbert & Sullivan, try this one:

Okay, now THAT one I do recognize. I'm guessing that would be his most famous. I believe Dr. Demento would play that one often.

I'm sure you know the entire lyric. Maybe you can do a recital tomorrow for us?

I haven't heard any of his songs in years!
He also had the element song, didn't he?
If the world is gonna end, I don't think it's gonna be on LA time.
Also, look at what happened with W2K...

I remember those songs too - had a couple chem and physics proffs who were huge fans.




Quick! The world's about to end. Lets go watch a movie about the world ending!

(Wait a minute.....)

On an amusing note - it's pretty impressive that the Mayan calendar remained viable a few hundred years longer than their civilization did. The calendar in my Droid only shows 'till next weekend. If I scroll to the right... the world doesn't end for another week.

How is everyone today?

Cool...so if I use a perpetual calendar it follows that I can expect perpetual life
