"Gravity" (sung to "Jingle Bells")
A comet hits the Earth,
It's made of Methane Ice.
It makes a giant force.
Now isn't that so nice?
...
So, what made it come here?
What made it hit the Earth?
The answer's very clear, my friend,
It fills you up with mirth.
...
Oh, gravity, gravity,
Mass times nine-point-eight.
Remember, travel very fast
If Earth you must escape.
...
Oh, gravity, gravity,
Mass times nine-point-eight.
Remember, travel very fast
If Earth you must escape.
...
Walk around the Earth,
Keep a steady pace.
If gravity weren't here
You'd float away in space.
...
Call it what you want,
Call it any name.
But this force is a heavy weight,
Attraction is it's game; Oooooooh...

Bill Gates my father is not. As church treasurer, he had two files, one labeled "St. Mary's Income" and one labeled "St. Mary's Expenditures." While copying them from a Macintosh to a PC, he had no idea the PC would automatically truncate the file names to ten characters, eliminate spaces, and replace apostrophes with periods.
Now the church's income is stored in "St.Mary.sin" and expenses in "St.Mary.sex."
