New Distributed Project Seeks Gravity Waves

fenimor writes "Much like the popular SETI@Home distributed computing project that searches radio telescope data for signs of extraterrestrial life, the new Einstein@Home will search for gravitational waves in data collected by U.S. and European gravitational wave detectors. Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity predicted the existence of gravitational waves in 1916, but only now has technology reached the point that scientists hope to detect them directly."

    That was a great MST3K wasn't it? Anyway, now I have to change it, because you gave it away. I'll keep it easy, though, because you still have to find me. Here it is:

    "The buzzards laid their eggs in season and lovingly fed their young. Earth had nourished them bountifully for centuries. She would nourish them for centuries more. . . ."

    For an extra $100, where is this quote from?

    "And here we shall take up the deomonstration, revelation, and account of how things were put in shadow and brought to light by. . ."
