Ponderings of a Scientist

Thanks to a shared feed from Zipy I’ve learned about a really neat Whale discovery.  A bowhead whale was caught last month off the coast of Alaska with an embedded human weapon in its bubber; the weapon dates to the 1890’s and was likely fashioned in the armpit of Mass. - the former Whaling epicenter - New Bedford.  This means the whale was over 115 years old, older than cetacean scientists believed whales to live.  Once again human detritous helps scientists to learn a new truth about the ocean and its creatures.
Oh and a new baby video 

The, unfortunate sound tracks of my life:  Fresh Prince of Bel Air Theme Song and the theme song to some 70’s sitcom I don’t know the name of, the only line that repeats over and over in my head: ” movin’ on up, movin’ on up, to the East Side, to a deluxe apartment in the sky”.  Now I call these the sound tracks of my life, because they are the songs that have been stuck in my head for years - no joke - on random occasions I will catch myself silently “singing” these songs in my head.  Why these songs and why are they so ingrained in my brain?  No idea!  I’m eager to blame the “deluxe apartment” jingle on my Dad’s incessent viewing of “Nick at Nite”, while I was in high school.  Perhaps hearing this song, while asleep, blasting from the family TV in the middle of the night, created an especially strong axon-dendrite pathway in my brain - but this is just a hypothesis.  As for the Fresh Prince - I’m at a loss, and actually rather annoyed and a bit embarrassed to have my brain jamming out to both of these tunes.   Am I the only one with this problem?
