Superb! I want the piano that is "Designed towards the participant who appreciates the union of gentility and engineering." - which surely we all do ;)

Somewhat alarmingly, I can see the derivation of the 'menstrual flux' bit. I have a copy of Culpeper's Complete Herbal, a manual of folk medicine from the 16th century. Many plants are listed as being used to "bring down women's courses", ie, to promote menstruation; a string, or pair (or even triplet) of strings on a guitar, lute, or similar, is called a 'course'.

Why, thank you, Ian. That is a seriously amazing fact.

If you're really that interested, here's an RSS feed for the latest comments to this blog. Never miss another pointless argument.

Of course comments are moderated, in a common-sense sort of a way. You don't have to give your email address to post here.

If you know your HTML, you can use <a>, <b>, and <i> tags, and entities, too. If you don't, you can still use them, but with a greater sense of trepidation.

Cheers.
