Rainy friday, and we approach the mighty iPod with a topical question.

Oh, mighty iPod, when LISA is finally launched, will it see shitloads of EMRIs?

Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.

  • The Covering: La seenade interrompue - Claudio Arrau
  • The Crossing: Accident Waiting to Happen - Billy Bragg
  • The Crown: Do Anything you Wanna Do - Eddie and the Hot Rods
  • The Root: Sur Le Pont d'Avignon - Sien Diels
  • The Past: First of the Gang - Morrissey
  • The Future: Travelin' Soldier - Dixie Chicks
  • The Questioner: Lilli Hittir Mikka Ref - Thorbjorn Egner
  • The House: Waiting in Vain - Bob Marley
  • The Inside: Up and At'Em - Twin Sisters
  • The Outcome: Now and Then - Arlo Guthrie

#11 is Johnny 99 - Los Lobos; #12 is I want Candy - Bow Wow Wow.

Hm, well, looks like there's gonna be some delay and heartbreak.
But the Questioner is about the little mouse tricking the wicked fox and the Outcome seems interesting.

As always, the Key as explained by Sean

I tried to count the women in the LISA group picture. Couldn't find more than 6. And it looks like more than 100 people in the group.

24 women that I know (I just looked at the registration list, there were 3-4 names that could be either male or female and who I didn't know personally) out of 100+. "My group" was 2 male, 2 female, for what it is worth.
That is about average for this demographic, physics biased astrophysics group.

Joan Centrella (GSFC) and Alessandra Buonanno (UMd) were on the LOC, though Stephen Merkowith (GSFC) was chair.
