Sorry chaps, but string theory has hit some serious snags*. The theorists 
keep throwing micro-dimensions at the problem, but I suspect that we have 
a "wheels within wheels" situation here. Someone needs to invent the 21st 
century equivalent of the elliptical orbit.

The consequence of this is that there is, as yet, no Grand Unified 
Theory. Without GUT, there can be no 3 Violins. A female choir would be 
my choice for the foundation of the universe.

As for tachyons in your Mellotron (the infamous Tachytron) I'm using mine 
to decompose some classic material for my previous CD. I've decided that 
I will have already included "Supper's Finished", "The Lamb Gets Up On 
Broadway", "To our Parents' Parents' Parents", "Returning From The One" 
and "Heart Of The Sunset". I was going to include "The Six Wives Of Henry 
VIII", but the climactic final track "Catherine Of Aragon" wasn't quite 
what I was hoping.

humour, and have to grasp at whatever they can.
