I suppose the synchronicity here is that, in my bedroom, there's a
harvestman spider I've nicknamed 'Boris' in deference to John. The
harvestman spider on the other side of the room, Aristotle (in
deference to Pugsley Addams' pet spider) seems to have gone walkabout
last night. Anyone have the synchronicity for Aristotle (other than
the fact that there are links to the Nichomachean Ethics on the Pages
link at the side-->)?
Crikey, I was going to bring up Greg Lake (Emerson, Lake and Palmer)
as well. Not into ProgRock, eh. Shame. There's some great stuff out
there. Where else can you find a song where the only lyrics are
"Schindleria Praematurus" but Yes. Hint, the song is used to show off
Chris Squires abilities. Find a copy of it on YouTube under either
"Schindleria Praematurus" or "The Fish" (I'd link one here but I
don't have access to YouTube at work). He's very impressive.
