Getting way off topic, if you are intersted in how the universe may or
may not end, I would suggest _The Last Three Minutes_, by Paul Davies.
It's pretty short, about 120 pages or so, and it's accessible to anybody,
meaning you don't need a science background, and there's no math either.
I read it over the holidays and really liked it.
obidm: I was listening to the radio this week, and I heard Aphex Twin's
Milkman played at 45. It was definitely jungle. Now, I've been playing my
at 33 since I've got it. The discog times in gonzi's site seem to
indicate 45 would be the proper time. (Yes, I did time it.) Anybody have
any thoughts or opinions on the proper speed. Personally, I'm sticking
with 33.
