Thanks, Nicky!  I would love to know a little more about "no particular 
reason."  It could be the alliteration.  It could be the ridiculousness of

Or a nod to Lye whose titles, e.g., Free Radicals, are evocative and pithy.  
Yes, I'm reaching!  

Thanks for confirming my thoughts about the synch!
