Heisenberg was a bastard!!!

Some one pointed out somewhere that the telescope did not exist in
Copernicus' time, and Galileo was responsible for its invention.
What a great song!

Speaking of which, where are the Charisma albums available now? I've
unfortunately lost my QS&C CD!!
The album shows up in stock at places like CDnow, but i dont see how to
distinguish the original album from the single w/ Uncle Sam's on Mars,
since they dont show the release year or list any of the tracks.
Was the album published by Griffin or anyone else as well?
