Joe Torre's Ode' to Boing
In the beginning, there was the Ball, and it was Boing! The
Gurus of the day created the checks, and they were marked.
The marks thus made, were Red, amidst the White, even in number
yea, and odd like a pattern. and they were Square, all over the
form. and the number of them, being a creation of programmers, was
set. As yee gaze uppon the ball, thow shalt see 8 accross, and 8
tall. Bytes on ball, that many tall, and if yee only see half the
ball. and that number seen, being 64, was good. Yea, twice the 8
accross, is 16, the number of bits of a 64. The total of them all
is 128, the next one that was great. But lastly, the Ball was
tilted, like earth, so that when it spun, the moving colors changed
scanlines, making the trick harder, and the demo greater. and that
the tilt was clockwise, and 16 degrees. and the Ball went forth,
and it is Boing!
