Aye, that whole thing was pretty lame. Was that supposed to be sarcastic? Maybe I just don’t get it. *shrug*

Read the production notes on macboy.com for background. The who thing is a parody of the beginning of a Balmer presentation. I downloaded the original Balmer video, and played it several times today for a laugh break.
