interesting fact:
Heard it on the radio:
There’s a study being undertaken at the moment by German scientists (because it’s ALWAYS Germany or some Scandinavian country that does stuff like this) to determine whether or not classical music helps sewage break down faster. Yep, apparently the sweet sweet tunage of Mozart and the like has an interesting effect on people and animals, and these scientists have reasoned that it should have a similar effect on microbes and nitrous bacteria seeing as “zey are also livving creetures…so vy should zey not be ahhfected by ze chahrms of ze classical ahrtists?”
One guy called in and helpfully suggested that maybe the experimental space happened to contain more oxygen than usual which is why the shit (excuse the pun) was decomposing more effectively, but he was pretty much shouted down in favour of the more interesting ‘miracle’ theory.
Just quietly, I’d rather believe scientific miracles than so-called religious ones, particularly those religious ones involving some mother forcing her baby to lie upon Mary Mackillop’s grave site in order to cure its common cold or whatever. I mean a cold stone grave site is really going to cure COLDS now isn’t it?
Oh and it’s been proven that termites demolish wood faster if they are in the vicinity of audible heavy metal music. Head thrashin’ wood choppin’ action indeed.
