Don’t listen to this song

Techcrunch has an article on MS  Songsmith with a re-worked version of Radiohead’s Creep. The song is unholy, it’s the kind of thing that will have Samara manifesting herself in your home if you listen to it until the end.  Perhaps this was Microft’s plan all along, the operating systems and productivity software were just a ruse to set the stage and unleash this cursed song upon the world.  Anyway, decide for yourself; I’ve tried to warn you, if you choose to ignore me don’t be surprised when your phone rings.

Quotable

I like this Douglas Adams quote :

“Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful

without having to believe that there are

fairies at the bottom of it too?”

File under: Everything you know is wrong

“Methinks the lady doth protest too much.”

To begin with, it’s a misquote, the line is “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”

More interesting is this:

By “protest,” Gertrude doesn’t mean “object” or “deny”—these meanings postdate Hamlet. The principal meaning of “protest” in Shakespeare’s day was “vow” or “declare solemnly,” a meaning preserved in our use of “protestation.” When we smugly declare that “the lady doth protest too much,” we almost always mean that the lady objects so much as to lose credibility. Gertrude says that Player Queen affirms so much as to lose credibility. Her vows are too elaborate, too artful, too insistent. More cynically, the queen may also imply that such vows are silly in the first place, and thus may indirectly defend her own remarriage.
