Had breakfast yet? Perhaps you'd like a Century Egg or maybe some EA board favourite, Natto?

You could give Dindon a call later and surprise her with your grasp of Verlan.

Personally, I'd love to have a play with the unique ANS Synthesizer, although I'd have to be careful not to hit the brown note.


Glad to see you weighing in sunshine! I shall read all these later.

My grasp of Verlan is pretty good already thanks. After all, j sui un mec vachement chanmé.

Oh - and I've eaten Natto - it's vile! Enjoyed reading about century eggs though. On to synths and poos!


If you do hit that brown note, you might want to cross-reference the results with this scale.


Wow... Thats, um... yeah, wow.
Had to shut that one down pretty quickly, lest people get the wrong idea.
Credo!

I remember being at a Caspar Brotzmann show at Double Door like 10 years ago, and while waiting for the show to start, a friend and I were discussing "the brown note" (as it was later called on South Park), a.k.a. the "disco dump," which is what a friend of mine (a DJ/live sound guy) used to call it. Supposedly, the frequency of the so-called "brown note" was in the neighborhood of 5 Hz.

We were debating whether high-decibel, low-frequency sound waves could indeed induce a bowel movement in humans. My friend insisted that it is true, that it has actually been done as a joke at rave parties in Europe and that the US military and the CIA have used it in the field. He argued that if you had amps with enough wattage and a lot of 15"+ speakers, you could cause at least one person in a crowd to take a spontaneous shit. I said it was an urban myth.

I spotted Steve in the audience, so I told my friend, "Hey, there's Steve Albini. Maybe he can lay this matter to rest. What do you think? Let's ask him." My friend agreed, so we approached Steve and I asked him about the 5 Hz laxative. He attested to my opinion that it is nonsense, but admitted it does make for a good story.

BAT BOMB


wikipedia wrote:It is thought that development of the bat bomb was moving too slowly and was beaten out of the race for a quick end to the war by the Atomic Bomb project.

Dr. Adams maintained that the bat bombs would have been effective without the devastating effects of the Atomic bomb. He is quoted as having said:

"Think of thousands of fires breaking out simultaneously over a circle of forty miles in diameter for every bomb dropped.

Japan could have been devastated, yet with small loss of life."
