And it burns, burns, burns

Oh Hallelujah, praise Jah almighty. The family of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash has stepped in to prevent the use of one of the finest songs of all time, "Ring of Fire", in ads for Preparation H. I couldn't believe that the song would be descrated like that when I first heard the story. Well, at least as desecrated as a song about forbidden love and marital infidelity can be.... Still, this just would have been beyond the pale. Now it's not going to happen, and I couldn't be happier. It's a moment of sanity in an otherwise insane world.

What do you mean there is no cat?

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

- Albert Einstein, explaining radio
