Now that is another VERY old name.

I can still get about 1/4 quarter of the way through "The Elements."

I loved it when he explained Base Eight math as being exactly like Base Ten Math, with your thumbs cut off.

I have many found memories of playing my dad's Tom Lehrer LP (the one with the white center and red flames around the edge of the jacket). I often played it at 45 RPM just to further improve the comedic nature of the songs. As a Boy Scout, I always enjoyed the irony of the "Be Prepared" song.
