I’ll start:
There once was a super-smart boffin
Who applied his smarts very often…
(Fill in the blank plz)
…in a coffin.
My partner is watching Arrested Development for the first time, and just got to Lipton’s first episode last night. I thought it was great how he meta’d himself on that show.
There once was a super-smart boffin
Who applied his smarts very often…
'Til his new nuclear missile
Was not dud, but fissile
Now he dwells on his goof in a coffin
(Attempt #1)
ah man…
He invented a sphere
too big to fit here
but still ended up in a coffin.

(For the record, “how did brachiosaurs walk”. I know some people speculate that they could only move one leg at a time.)
So much private rubbernecking.
RIP hockey great Henri Richard.
(For you keyboard freaks… like me: Tyner’s influence on Keith Emerson)
From Keyboard Magazine:
Chording
With a wellspring of harmonic choices at his fingertips, Emerson covers it all, from Jazz chording and rock riffing to virtuosic classical counterpoint. Ex. 2 approximates what Emerson plays on the intro to the ELP song “Tarkus.” Note that the example is in 10/8 time, with the left hand playing an ostinato pattern—an Emerson staple. The right hand implies an almost jazzy F minor 11th sound, voiced in fourths à la McCoy Tyner. This is also a good example of Emerson’s agility and hand independence.
Just saw on the news that the woman who inspired the iconic Rosie the Riveter poster just passed away aged 95 years.
Follow-up:
Sure is, but to be fair, some of those deaths were really weird. People read about these deaths and think “hey, maybe I’ll die on the toilet too!”
When you gotta go…
