iPod iChing: space conference

It is a beautiful sunny day in the neighbourhood,
so we skip joyfully to the iPod and ask:

Oh, Mighty iPod One, what will the grim fates bring us as the appropriations for Science (and Commerce and Justice) go to the mysteries of the Conference Committee?

Whoosh goes the iPod.
Whoosh.

The Root:
"Way up yonder above the moon
A jaybird lived in a silver spoon.

Way down yonder in a wooden trough
An old woman died of the whooping cough.

Way up yonder above the sky
A jaybird spit in a bluebird's eye.
Buckeye Jim you can't go
Go weave and spin, you can't go
Buck-eyed Jim "

The Past: Images of East Asia...
