    When I first read this, I really thought Slashdot's value had gone into the toilet. "So Hawking is taking a trip to Canada and that's newsworthy?"

    Next up: Ballmer stays in America, rest of world celebrates.

    I'm goin' to California
    To live in the summer sun
    The streets are made of silver
    I'm like a rabbit on the run
    Philidelphia freedom
    Well its not like you have heard, no, no, no
    This city of brotherly love
    Is full of pain and hurt

    I'm goin' to California
    To find my pot of gold
    Corruption on every corner
    Hustlers sellin' sweets
    Baby is home cryin'
    While her mom is on the streets
    Everybody's dyin'
    Have you heard the news today?
    A woman in north Philly is mournin'
    A bullet took another son away

    I'm goin to California
    I'm goin far, far, far away

    Goin' to California, yeah

    Goin' to California, yeah
    To resurect my soul
    The sun is always shinin', shinin'
    Or at least that's what I'm told
    I'm goin' to California
    There's a better life for me, yes
    Goin' to California
    I'll write and tell you what I see
    I'm goin' to California
    Somebody say a prayer for me.
