Thanks for the tip. Incidentally what is with all of these talking heads?!?!
Is their some alchemical or Kabbalic underpinning or other occultic
significance? Is the head "possessed" by something or someone? Or is it a
piece of technology just responding to input like a computer or some such. I
was just curious if anyone has any input on this topic, where did all the
talking heads come from and what is the "magical" significance to them?
(Besides the fact that they ARE heads and that they DO talk which is
"magical" in itself).
