Well if not different, certainly more numerous. Using nifty equations that extrapolate the brightness of all the galaxies in one sector of the universe to calculate the number of stars out there in the firmament, Australian scientists have come to the conculsion that there are 10 times as many stars as grains of sand on Earth. As a friend used to say, now imagine if all those galaxies put together are just a speck of dirt in the fingernail of a gorilla in some bigger picture. Is that sufficient insignificance to start your day?
So what song is the title of this entry from?

Posted by: Honey at July 23, 2003 07:10 PMVery good. David Bowie's 'Space Oddity'. I have great fun telling the boys the story when I sing it in the car and they get into it enough to ask questions. It is a shame that they've never heard the original version (or even the music) of many songs I sing in the car. Still they'll enjoy them even more when they discover them for themselves. ?+)

Of course, I'm a bit older now and have it on CD.
Posted by: DJ at July 24, 2003 06:13 AMMy best friend came around for some 'O' Level revision and I remember keeping that record going for about 20 plays in a row! I'm still not sick of it and it was the first single to make it to No. 1 twice (i.e. when it was re-released a few years later) in the UK!
