When the planet was suddenly enveloped by a man-made artifact, Nature flipped into art form. The moment of Sputnik was the moment of creating Spaceship Earth and/or the global theatre. Shakespeare at the Globe had seen all the world as a stage, but with Sputnik, the world literally became a global theatre with no more audiences, only actors.

Deb, don't you think everyone's weird enough to start thinking at the wavelenght of an engineer creating its own language? :-D "Will Language Engineering overcome our little Will?" that's a better title for his blog. :-P
