    Wow! A five-octave grand piano! In the ‘40s, in America, a company mad little upright pianos with five octaves. After the bass strings, the rest of the notes only had two strings per note. Rather thin sounding. They only made them for a few years.

    To save some of you the trouble: per Google, Tyvek is some super strong white film used primarily but not exclusively to wrap around houses during construction to provide protection from water damage and such later. Apparently amazing stuff, per DuPont. Would DuPont lie to us?

    The idea of Tyvek applied to the universe’s expansion is delightfully goofy. But pop-up ads for other dreams really made me guffaw.

    That one for the 21st is kinda scary. Not so much the others….
