Default FWD: NASA sends the Beatles to Polaris!

On Mon, 4 Feb 2008 10:04:33 -0800 (PST), in a place far, far away,
Eric Chomko 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.


That is a John Lennon song not a Beatles song.


John Lennon was a Beatle. *He wrote or co-wrote most of their songs.


But the song "Imagine" came out after the Beatles parted their ways.


So? What's your point?

Oh. Right. As usual, you don't have one.
