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.

I made that icon from some glasses which belonged to my mother when she was in college. Originally, the men in question were wearing clothes, which disappeared when a cold drink was poured in, but the clothes disappeared for good after twenty-five years in the attic. (For some reason, Dad never let her put them in with the regular glasses!) Sister and I recently goaded her into hauling them down and showing them off, and she is *frighteningly* fond of them.

We're just frightened. Plus, if you stare at them long enough, the 1970's porn 'staches actually start to look *sexy*. *shiver*

The original Teeny Little Super Guy (http://members.tripod.com/Tiny_Dancer/teeny.html), of course, was a stop-motion animated Sesame Street character, who I had a mad crush on when I was about five. I put his theme song on the icon because I'm perverse, and I enjoy destroying people's childhoods.
