Fun!

Not if you're in the mood
for slow dancing.

Alas, the US penny is no more.
The final one-cent coin was minted last week.
To mark the passing of the lowly yet beloved penny, what better piece of music than Beethoven's Rondo a capriccio in G major, Op. 129?
Or, as dubbed by Beethoven's publisher, "Rage Over a Lost Penny"

I've always had mixed feelings about this one.

But it's impressive that it sold for more than any other work ever sold at an auction, except for one.

A cartoon about autumn....
Title: The leaves Image 1: Two leaves hang from branches. "Would you like to hear my new poem?" Says one "Is it another one about the inevitability of death?" replies a smaller leaf. Image 2: "It's autumn! What else am i going to write about?" says the poet leaf. "Well, we've all turned this lovely reddish colour." says the small leaf. Image 3: "Actually, that could make a very nice poem. Thanks!" says the poet. Image 4. The small leaf begins to reply but is blown away by a gust of wind. Image 5: Later. The solitary poet leaf recites a poem: "The year dies. I cling hopelessly. In the end all things fall."
