It's been shown that most girls lose interest in math and science by the age of 8. So there's this non-profit called Girls Go Tech whose mission is to keep young girls engaged in the hard sciences as they grow older. Great mission--completely behind it--but this ad they air on the radio featuring a mom and her young daughter singing a self-modified version of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" cracks me up. Who the hell has time to make up lyrics like this?
Twinkle, twinkle little star
You're a ball of gas that's very far.
32 lightyears in the sky.
Ten parsecs...which is [giggles] REALLY high.
Helium, carbon & hydrogen...
fuse to make our starry friend.
When it reaches supernova stage
It explodes with bursts of rage.
And if the star's mass is big and bold...
it will become a big black hole.
Together:
And if the star's mass is big and bold...
[laughing]it will become a big black hole.
