hi ive just been reading through "the science of discworld" by terry pratchet, ian stewart, & jack cohen.
its kind of scientific (i actually wouldnt know if they were really taking the piss) & has a chapter called "we are stardust (or at least we went to woodstock) where they give this whole long technical spiel about the different elements, and the periodic table, and how the elements came into being as a result of the big bang, and the effect of the reaction in stars. (definitely the most technical book ive read since i stopped studying) i quote "Anyway the point is that most of the atoms from which you are made must have come into being in a star. As Joni Mitchell sang at woodstock: "We are stardust"." there is a footnote which says "Ask Mummy or Daddy if you have no idea what were talking about" So now that the scientists know that Joni is siquomb, maybe someone (mummy or daddy???) will explain to them about her never quite making it to woodstock (tho personally i think shes been in her own private garden for quite some time....) ron np - pete o'connell - barrett (sounds like its about syd??) (albums like this are why i *love* 2nd hand shops. bought it cause it looked interesting - & it sure is!!!)
