Default FWD: NASA sends the Beatles to Polaris!

On Sat, 02 Feb 2008 14:37:19 -0600, in a place far, far away, OM
made the phosphor on my monitor glow in
such a way as to indicate that:

WASHINGTON -- For the first time ever, NASA will beam a song -- The
Beatles' "Across the Universe" -- directly into deep space at 7 p.m.
EST on Feb. 4.

...Now, let's be honest, kids: *was* this the most suitable song for
this stunt? Seems to me "All You Need Is Love" would have been more
apropos.

Comments?


Just as long as it isn't "Imagine," the most mindless song ever
penned.
