Somehow, the NYPL web-based version of its mail software gets rejected by
most of the listservs that I am subscribed to (I don't think that there is
any plain-text option available; at least, I can't find it if it does
exist), so I am re-posting this from work using the dedicated version on my
PC. By now, the link may be out of date, but give it a try if you want a
bit of a laugh (well, I found it hysterical; your mileage may vary).

First there was the self playing "taps bugle", then Sony introduced the
trumpet playing robot, now we have:
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99994845
Follow a link from there and you'll see some "memorable" excerpts from
Beethoven 5.
Of course, there is the question. Why?
