    Dana,

    I took one of your classes when "Hey Ya" by Outkast was a popular song on the radio. In it, there's a line where Andre 3000 asks "What’s cooler than being cool?" to which a chorus replies, "Ice cold!"

    In the halls after class, we'd often ask each other, "What's blacker than being black?"

    The reply: "Sync Pulse!"

    Now that's TV geek humour from a guy working in radio.
