The Stars My Destination
My friends, truly ours is an age of wonders: A.T.V.link. And I don't just mean the Jules Verne*. Scroll down to the bottom of the article and you can see a live track of either the A.T.V.'s or the I.S.S.'s position in orbit! Sweet fancy Moses!

Slow Gherkin, "Pretty (In a Pretty Sort of Way)" from Run Screaming (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary:

"There's something odd about you,
What it is I couldn't say,
You're just pretty in a pretty sort of way."

If you could be one but not the other, which would you prefer, elegant or eloquent?

*The names of ships, both nautical and celestial, are italicized, e.g., the battleship Maine and the space shuttle Endeavour. The names of automobiles are left plain, e.g., the Batmobile or the General Lee. Unmanned pace probes are similarly unadorned, such as the Pathfinder probe and its auxiliary, the diminutive Sojourner rover. So, though Jules Verne is a fairly ornate name for what is rightly described as a "space truck," as the craft is unmanned proper protocol would seem to prefer Jules Verne to either "Jules Verne" or Jules Verne.
