Thanks........many of his old satires were my favorites........ The best one, I think, was New Math....... But the idea is the important thing..... And another fav version is This one.....which is spoofed, but is Tom's voice....... And then there is this politically and religiously irreverent ditty......Doin' The Vatican Rag............LOL we Christians......we gotta poke fun at ourselves once in a while........

I know I am waaaayyy behind you guys, but I have a nixie clock in my living room, still working great and still keeping accurate time. I have a spare set of Nixie tubes in the loft too, but not needed them yet. |

Of course, having said that, one of them will go dark in the morning.......LOL.. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
