12/11/2009: "Great Men of Science"

Still more Great Men Of Science, in which we learn of Heisenberg's blimp, and Alex Bell's fondness for bratwurst. These are from June and July, 1993.

Great Men Of Science, Part 8
----------------------------
Tesla worked a lot with magnets and stuff.
He was soft on the outside but his insides were tough.
He thought, "I want to reach the masses, the unwashed hordes."
So he started a band with just a few power chords.


Great Men Of Science, Part 9
----------------------------
Johannes Kepler liked to stare at the stars.
He determined planet orbits and he really dug Mars.
He said, "Life is geometric -- Pythagoras Rules!"
And he was quick with a lighter for the ladies with Kools.


Great Men Of Science, Part 10
-----------------------------
Heisenberg's blimp became a ball of flame.
Oh, the humanity! Could he clear his good name?
Wait, that was the Hindenburg. His rep took no hurtin'.
He proved that in life, all things are uncertain.


Great Men Of Science, Part 11
-----------------------------
Orville and Wilbur were the Wright boys from Dayton.
Their standards were high: spent their whole lifetime's waitin'.
But in the meantime, they learned how to fly.
They had everything but what money can't buy.

They lived the good life from when they were kids.
Their bicycle shop kept them off of the skids.
They moved to the suburbs to get them some rest.
They'd rather have none if they can't have the best.


Great Men Of Science, Part 12
-----------------------------
Alexander Graham Bell like to talk on the phone.
But he had to invent one first.
Then he called up Becky so they could be alone.
"Bring the grill, I'll bring the bratwurst!"
