I would post this in my original thread, but it's been locked.

I guess none of you were around in the 80s. Here's some lyrics from the song IGY (International Geophysical Year) by Donald Fagen on his 1982 album, "The Nightfly."


The future looks bright
On that train of graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris

You've earned some time in the corner.
