Zoo creativity

I’ve been meaning to show you this for a while actually. Zooites – as the group of Galaxy Zoo volunteers on the Galaxy Zoo forum are called – have started to express their creativity in ‘Zoo limericks’ and one of them is about my discovery. The author, David, wrote that meeting me in Greenwich on one of the Zoo meet-ups had inspired him to write this nice little poem. There’s also a group of classifiers who see ‘pure art’ in some of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey pictures and I’ve used one of the suggestions – by coincidence shared by another David – as a background image. Have a look at the forum and join in!

    het rijm ‘inheriting brains from her Granny’ op Hanny vind ik hartverscheurend mooi… lijkt voorbestemd !

    Thanks Daniël. Ik vond ‘m zelf ook erg goed. (Hoewel ‘Hanny’ eigenlijk niet rijmt op ‘granny’, en hier meer klinkt als de naam van mijn vader, ‘Henny’, en ik dus niet zou spreken over ‘voorbestemd’. Echter, in een leuke limerick als deze werkt het prima natuurlijk.) ;)
