big ideas:
translation of Amendments 18 and 21 into "50's jazz musician"
Rules:
1. Refer to people as "cats"
2. End phrases with "ya dig?"
3. Always use "gonna" instead of "going to"
4. Use language that "bounces" or "rattles off"
5. Refer to jazz greats by their nicknames or first names
6. always refer negatively to the police
7. break into song at any moment
8. use scat
9. go off on incoherent tangents
50's jazz slang is a combination of AAVE, Hippie, and Stoner.

"There are in fact 100 billion galaxies, each of which contain something like a 100 billion stars. Think of how many stars, and planets, and kinds of life there may be in this vast and awesome universe."
"We find that we live on an insignificant planet, of a humdrum star, lost in a galaxy, tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe, in which there are far more galaxies than people."
"extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence"
"And we, we who embody the local eyes, and ears, and thoughts, and feelings of the cosmos -- we've begun at last to wonder about our origins. Star stuff contemplating the stars, organized collections of 10 billion billion billion atoms contemplating the evolution of matter -- tracing that long path by which it arrived at consciousness here on the planet Earth and, perhaps, throughout the cosmos." -- Carl Sagan
