Thank you, Peter, for this N.Y.Times story. But something is
strange with that story: why was the trumpet case on the
luggage belt ? Hand luggage is not on any luggage belt
except the very short belt through the x-ray-machine.

Where is the Cabbage in all this? I'm sure he would be willing to explain
to us just exactly what atomic structure is needed to make a good conductor.
I'm sure it has something to do with the distribution of electrons in the
nuclear structure.

The tempos stay in certain relations each other

this, he is good. Well, can you describe "clean" colours ?
Colours which you can find in nature ? If you can describe
