Pinhead Angels

Last year, the holidays brought us "How the Schmirk Stole Nanotechnology." This season, the role of NanoScrooge is played by Angels Against Nanotech, which recently presented Harry Swan, an ex-Monsanto official and now a nano-evangelist, with its "Can of Worms Award."

Regular NanoBot readers already know how I believe that true nanotech is actually the ultimate in "organic" and environmentally friendly solutions to pollution and disease, so I won't repeat it here. Remember, I'm just the heavenly messenger, folks. A Nano-hymn: Enjoy.

A Nano-hymn

Hark the throng of angels sing,
nanotech's a dodgy thing
Piece by piece the world defiled
Godlike science running wild
Careful al ye people wise
Nano could be your demise
We will not cooperate
With your corporate nano-state
Hark the throng of angels sing,
nanotech's a dodgy thing

'Nano? We don't need no stinking nano'
