Joshua has memorized Tommy Lehrer's Song "The Elements" (who hasn't?) and will be performing it for his science class.

So if you think YOUR kid is more geeky than MY kid, I'd like to see your evidence. (I should warn you that he can also quote much of The Holy Grail and can distinguish the different USS Enterprises by their silhouettes.  Cara

When he has the heraldry for the line of Aethelmearc Royals down, it will be super impressive.

It warms my heart that kids (or at least one kid) still enjoy Tom Lehrer. :-)

Oh, my kids love Lehrer too. Especially "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park."

I performed that one in a vaudeville show in college.

I listened to him practicing it during archery at Barony meeting, and was amused. And it looks like he's in excellent company: here's Daniel Radcliffe singing it on a British TV show, though alas he leaves off the final bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSAaiYKF0cs

Thank you. He liked seeing Harry Potter sing the song.
