a gigantic nuclear furnace!

The professor is giving a lecture on the sun, and now "Why does the sun shine" is stuck in my head - this is due to the fact that he sounds *exactly* like the 'boring scientist' voiceover, cadence and all - when he said "The Sun is a middle-sized star" I could have sworn it was a clip from the song.


Ask me a question about one of my icons - what it is, why I have it, whatever. I need to reorganize them anyway.

A bit off-topic, mayb, but for the Mathnet one... do you know if that's on video anywhere (I'd assume as part of some collection).

Apparently there was a set of at least some that came out in 1998, but they're kind of hard to find ... at one point, there were a few available to buy downloads of, I think, but they're probably down now. I'm not sure.

I'm trying to figure out in my head whether this is the show I remember. I seem to remember one "case" where some musician had been kidnapped, and sang "Please do what these people say." in the same tune as a telephone ringtone... and another episode with (either a teacher or) a kids show host who was "guilty" of telling kids wrong answers to questions...

Do either of these sound familiar?

The ringtone one sounds vaguely familiar. I don't actually remember the show that well either; the icon was originally just me teasing Katy about her Mulder and Scully obsession, but I kept it because it always gets squees of nostalgia when I use it.

Oh. In that case, I suppose this is compulsory:

*ahem*

Squee.

That is all.
