iPod iChing: inconstant Hubble

As the Hubble deadline slips away, later than ever, we ask the Mighty iPod One the question whose answer we all must know:

Oh, Mighty iPod One: what will come out of Hubble for cycle 19?

Whoosh goes the iPod.
Whoosh.

  • The Covering: Deep Dark Truthful Mirror - Elvis Costellor
  • The Crossing: O Isis und Osiris - Mozart
  • The Crown: Richard - Billy Bragg
  • The Root: Carnival of the Animals: Aviary
  • The Past: I'm on Fire - Johnny Cash
  • The Future: Interlude VI - Mannheim Steamroller
  • The Questioner: Oksn - Ruth Rubin
  • The House: Ten Little Fish - Twin Sisters
  • The Inside: The Obvious Child - Paul Simon
  • The Outcome: Accountancy Shanty - Monty Python

Covering is deep.
Crossing: incest and resurrection...
The Crown is deeply meaningful: does every α-particle really hide a Neon nucleus?
And, is it 20Ne?

Past: ooh yeah, you took us higher, we were so on fire!

The Future: an interlude. Oh dear.

The Questioner: er anyone know what that song is about - sounds cool...
- ah, google books to the rescue:

Hob Ich A Por Oksn: apparently nonsensical, but...
"...all the characters as well as the tasks assigned to them fit properly into the Eastern European Jewish Environment: oxen chopping noodles... kittens baking cookies."
Ok, that works.

The House: oh dear, this is the toddlers take on "100 bottles..." - one by one the little fish give up...

"We had a little fun
we had a little money...
"

As always, the Key as explained by Sean

The Outcome:

we are so doomed...

You only thought it slipped away. The newest email says no earlier than 3 PM EST tomorrow, and presumably it could slip later.

Tarot was the last illusion I clung to before becoming a rational humanist. I always check out iPod iChing, but today was particularly juicy.
