Tim, I see that you're also a fan of the Cat Piano, or Katzenklavier. Athanasius Kircher, a German Jesuit is supposed to have invented it (according to Wikipedia anyways) I think it was supposed to cure attention deficiency problems on the premise that it was so captivating that anyone who used it would have no choice but to focus themselves on a line of cats, arranged in order of tone and pitch, as they screamed out a tune prompted by a piano key hooked up to a spike sticking repeatedly into their little fluffly tails. Reminds me of those 'concept albums' from the early days of the sampler. Xmas tunes as sung by cats etc. That is spam! Athanasius Kircher also believed in Atlantis.
