The Ratts Art

When I was a child, there used to be reruns of an Aperture Science Innovations show from the 50′s. It was more of a marketing gimmick than an educational program, showing off or demonstrating known products to the public. I vaguely remember hearing my parents talking about the inventions between themselves, something about ‘scientists running around unchecked’, while others praised each creation. It went off the air shortly following pending lawsuits, late 60′s if I can recall correctly, and was never mentioned again… 

I float in a boat In a raging black ocean Low in the water With nowhere to go…
