- Well, I'm jumping into the middle of this, but has anyone offered,
- "Oh, be a fine girl kiss me right now SMACK!" an old sexist chestnut,
- which a student in my intro astronomy course, upon being challenged to
- innovate, converted to "Oh bring a fat green kangaroo; my recipe needs
- some." This is the sequence of starts (hottest to coolest) on the
- main sequence (or in the Herzsprung-Russell diagram, as you like).
