The Last Temptation of Krust
Original Airdate on FOX: 22-Feb-1998
% At home, Marge and Lisa watch a Spanish drama on TV. Lisa translates some
% of the dialogue for Marge. Bart changes over to Krusty. Instead of Krusty,
% Kent Brockman is at a news desk.
Hey. Hey. I'm Kent Brockman the Clown filling in for Krusty the Clown, who didn't come in today. He is presumed dead or on vacation. Today's top joke: it seems a local moron threw his clock out the window. We'll tell you why, right after this!
-- Kent Brockman fills in for Krusty, "The Last Temptation of Krust"
% Bart leaves, and sees Krusty in the Flanders garden, poking a hungover
% Krusty with sticks. Bart scares them away, and takes Krusty up to his
% room.
Bart: Oh, P-U, what were you drinking, gasoline?
Krusty: Yes, I was drinking gasoline, MOTHER!

1952: UNIVAC
Univac was the primary product of the Eckert-Mauchly computer company. Not only was it faster, but it demonstrated the shift from base-ten to binary code. A Univac was used by CBS news to predict the outcome of the 1952 Presidential Election. That event brought computing into the public eye, according to many historians. It wouldn't be long before scientific focus shifted to microprocessors.
[Not only was it binary machine language, but to manually program it, you had to start with base-10, convert that mentally to base-8, and then mentally convert that to base-2, or binary.]

This computer, unfurled to scientists on Feb. 14, helped launch the computer revolution and the U.S. tech dominance for decades. Few suspected actually what those next 60 years would bring. The evolution of computing devices has come a long way since the days of ENIAC.
[The way I see it, this was the modern equivalent of man inventing fire. Today's PC are a much improved version of that invention, in essence, a match or a butane ligther. Software is the fuel for that energy source. I don't think we have reached a point yet where you could compare the computer to the combustion engine. After that would be the progress that produces the computer equivalent of a jet engine. Of course, some marketing weenie is going to read this and start trying to refer to their products as jet engines.]

Nobody Home Lyrics
I've got a little black book with my poems in
I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home
I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And I've got the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favourite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I've got wild staring eyes
I've got a strong urge to fly
But I've got nowhere to fly to
Ooooh Babe when I pick up the phone
There's still nobody home
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
And I've got fading roots.
