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!
