#1 NPR reported this morning that one of the two hijackers was a convert to Christianity who didn't want to finish serving out his army duty in a Muslim army, and wanted the Pope's help to get him out of it. Clearly airplane hijackers are on the same level of mental acuity as bank robbers.

#2 TW, you can actually listen to NPR? It gives me a headache.

#3 For short periods of time in the car, mcsegeek1. Until they start blithering, and with the understanding that it's all slanted as much as can be. I can't handle AM talk radio; they shout so much, and there are too many idiots who need too say, "Me, too!" in a slightly different way. But sometimes I need a change from Handel and Mozart, to help keep me from crashing into other cars and mailboxes and things. *shrug*

#4 TW, try Albert Greig's "Peer Gent", or Sebelius' "Finlandia". It'll keep you awake and attentive. Of course, there's nothing like driving down the Interstate with the "1812 Overture" blasting at top volume to get attention...

#5 I played second violin doing "Finlandia" once upon a time. Page after page of open (unfingered) D-string alternating occasionally with an open G-string. Even all the beginners playing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" together was less painful.

And don't anybody even so much as snicker, Frank G.
