Record Heat and a Song
So, the alarm goes off this morning and the weather report comes on. Our friendly weather advisor, John Gaughn (rhymes with "wrong"), chirps, "It should be about 96 today, but with the humiture, it will feel like 109!" Whee! Immediately I thought of that scene in Star Trek 4 where the oceans start evaporating:
...which then reminded me of the beginning to Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy where, shortly before earth is blown up to make an intergalactic highway, the dolphins fly out of the oceans and aquariums up into their mother ship singing "So long and thanks for all the fish!"
The sing-along video... it's a really catchy song... really... you'll love it!
Ok, I admit, it will be stuck in your head for days, but, look! I included the lyrics so that when it does get stuck in your head, at least you have the right words:
“So Long And Thanks For All The Fish”

So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear
You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that grow around you.
So long, So long, and thanks for all the fish
The world’s about to be destroyed
Theres no point getting all annoyed.
Lie back and let the planet dissolve (around you)
Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women.
So long, So long, So long, So long, So long,
So long, So long, So long, So long, So long,
So long, So long, and thanks for all the fish
If I had just one last wish
I would like a tasty fish
If we could just change one thing
We would all have learnt to sing
Come one and all
Man and mammal
Side by side in life’s great gene pool
So long, So long, So long, So long, So long,
So long, So long, So long, So long, So long,
So long, So long, and thanks for all the fish
