That's quite a song. I don't know how whimsically it was written but they pulled something off with that one. I'm a long-time folksinger-humdinger and people always go for that one.

I saw computer simulations of what galaxy collisions look like, if sped up by a factor of several million or so. Amazing stuff. It must be something to be God, or a God and be able to see that stuff.

**EDIT** Well, whatayaknow, I found a vid. of one:
