Since Jan Hendrik Oort used Bertil Lindblad's theory of the Milky Way
galaxy's rotation, to arrive at his discovery of the Oort cloud, it
seems clear the color needs to be white and the Poetry needs to change
from ` In a cloud ... bone of steel' to `Got Oort'.
A further developement could be that Lars could begin to choke animals
with `Oort'. No body will like the color white but they Oort to.
