I do a lot of these podcasts sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in the middle of the night. The middle of the night is a time for strange thoughts. I think it was in the middle of the night that Louie Pasteur said "Ok everybody...boil the milk. When everybody woke up they said, "Boiled milk...Louieeee?" I don't remember who discovered atoms or if it was in the middle of the night. Big Louie says "You can't trust atoms, because they make up everything." How about this for weird. Everything you see is made up of atoms, but atoms are way too small to see. Catherine Zeta Jones is a bunch of atoms. I can't see her atoms, but I am delighted to be able to see her. I don't understand that, but I do appreciate her.
Better be careful of getting too chummy with your nearby atoms. Remember what happens if you drop an atom. You get a mushroom shaped cloud. Atoms are so small that a lump of sugar contains as many atoms as there are stars in the universe. Not just the milky way, the whole universe...one lump of sugar. Atoms are wild little things. And little things mean a lot. That's the title of a fine old song from the 1950s. Kitty Kallen sang it. They called her Pretty Kitty. She got up close and personal with the mic, and she sang. "Blow me a kiss from across the room, say I look nice when I'm not. Touch my hair as you pass my chair, little things mean a lot." Sounds like the advice Big Louie gives to the guys in his Louie Louie Generation." |
