It's OK... That's Krugman's cat he's juggling. (from National Review Online's Krugman's Cat Economic Indicator.)

Any fans of Don Herbert ("Dune") out there?

I thought it was L. Ron Herbert.

Bwahaha! You got me...

OK, kids... now we're going to use sound waves to rupture the internal organs of disgustingly obese, homosexual war barons. Be sure to get your Quidzach Hadarach's (sp???) permission, first!

>> (1) Isn't Osmium the densest solid, not Iridium?

(2) What's "The Brown Note"? (It has ominous, or perhaps just messy, connotations.) <<

No. You owe the oracle a copy of Donnie and Marie Osmium's "Brown Album."

I used to levitate when I listened to Pink Floyd. ;)

I vaguely recall doing that. Seems like it required some specialized apparatus though. A black-light, a strobe, lots of blue smoke...

The Brown Note is a subsonic frequency reputed to cause the bowels to loosen uncontrollably. A device emitting significant energy at that frequency would make an interesting riot control device.

I think mythbusters took on the brown note myth and busted it.

I regret to learn that ... I even more regret not having seen Adam, Jamie, and the crew put that one to the test.

"...although the fish did not fare as well, due to the inadequate water supply, the scientists report." Those whacky scientists.

Or used strategically against entire cities. We gotta unbust this thing.
